LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — City officials are considering letting bicyclists back on the sidewalks in downtown Lincoln.

The idea is part of a review of city bike ordinances.

City Attorney Jeff Kirkpatrick says pedestrians still would have the right of way and the bicyclists wouldn’t be allowed to ride recklessly. If they did, they would be ticketed. The proposal also would allow skateboarders and scooters on the downtown sidewalks.

The proposal is being shared with bike groups and with people who live and work downtown. It’s expected to later be presented to the City Council for a public hearing and vote.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Federal authorities are launching an investigation into the death of a truck driver at an Omaha meatpacking facility.

The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration said the man was working at a loading dock Thursday at Greater Omaha Packing when he was pinned between two trailers. OSHA spokesman Scott Allen says a preliminary investigation indicates that the brakes were not set on a semitrailer, causing it to move and pin the man. The agency has up to six months to complete its investigation.

Greater Omaha Packing attorney Mark Theisen identified the man as 29-year-old Robert Williams II, of Aurora, Colorado.

The company declined to comment on the OSHA investigation.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Douglas County’s top prosecutor says the fatal shooting of a suspect by two deputies was justified.

County Attorney Don Kleine made the determination Friday in the shooting death of 25-year-old David Anderson.

Police investigators say Anderson twice rammed a sheriff’s vehicle as he was approached Tuesday by several deputies trying to arrest him on a warrant, and two deputies fired at least nine shots. A 19-year-old woman with Anderson also was treated for minor injuries, but was not shot.

Police say the deputies, 37-year-old Michael Jones and 33-year-old Scott Kuzminski, feared for their lives and the lives of their colleagues when they shot Anderson.

Under state law, Anderson’s death will also be reviewed by a grand jury.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha woman who sold thousands of worthless airline vouchers has pleaded guilty to 16 counts of wire fraud in federal court.

In exchange for her pleas Friday, federal prosecutors dropped nine counts of money laundering against 31-year-old Patricia Urbanovsky.

Urbanovsky now faces more than six years in federal prison under the agreement.

Urbanovsky was the owner of Creative Creations in Omaha. Authorities say she ran a scheme through her business to sell discounted airline travel vouchers, which turned out to be worthless.

Authorities say her company sold about 36,000 vouchers for airline flights at a reduced rate, but had purchased only about 7,000 of the discounted vouchers from airlines. Most customers had their travel plans ruined when the vouchers weren’t honored.

VALLEY, Neb. (AP) — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to add a Valley intersection to its list of Superfund national priorities.

The intersection announced Wednesday is located at Old Highway 275 and 288th Street. The designation notifies the public that the EPA believes a site requires further study and cleanup.

The EPA says the site consists of contaminated groundwater which has affected one Pines Public Water Supply well and four private wells.

Adding the intersection to the agency’s national priority list makes it eligible for federal money to investigate and address site contamination. It also guarantees the public an opportunity to participate in the cleanup decisions.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The American Cancer Society has announced it will break ground later this month on an $11.5 million housing facility for people and their families traveling to Omaha for cancer treatment.

The Hope Lodge Nebraska will be located just off of Dodge Street near the Nebraska Methodist Hospital System. Lodging there will be free of charge for patients and their families traveling more than 40 miles for treatment.

Plans for the three-story, 34,543 square-foot lodge includes 32 private rooms with baths. Sitting/television areas and laundry facilities are located on each floor. Common areas include kitchen, dining room, library, conference, exercise, game and meditation rooms. Free transportation will be available to local treatment centers for patients staying at the Hope Lodge.

Officials are set to break ground on the lodge on Sept. 29.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Supreme Court has upheld the robbery convictions and prison sentence for the sister of Nikko Jenkins, who was convicted of killing four Omaha residents in 2013.

Erica Jenkins had appealed her convictions for her role in luring Juan Uribe-Pena and Jorge Cajiga-Ruiz to an Omaha park in August 2013 and robbing them before Nikko Jenkins killed them. She was sentenced to 60 to 100 years for the two robbery counts.

The high court on Friday said it found no merit to any of Erica Jenkins’ arguments, including that prosecutors’ acquisition of her cellphone records amounted to an unconstitutional search.

Erica Jenkins is also serving a life sentence for helping her brother kill another of his four victims, Curtis Bradford.

BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) — The state has issued a new health alert at Big Indian Creek Lake in southeast Nebraska’s Gage County.

The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services says samples taken earlier this week at the lake indicated high levels of a toxin produced by blue-green algae blooms.

The department also says earlier alerts at Kirkman’s Cove in Richardson County, Rockford Lake in Gage County, Iron Horse Trail Lake in Pawnee County and Willow Creek Lake in Pierce County will continue.

Skin exposed to the toxin can develop rashes and blisters. Someone who drinks water containing the toxin is at risk for headaches, nausea and muscular pain.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a man has been arrested after drugs were seized from his vehicle along Interstate 80 in Omaha.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office says a deputy made a traffic stop around 11 p.m. Thursday and soon became suspicious of the driver. A department dog was taken to the scene, and the dog alerted officers to the odor of drugs.

The Sheriff’s Office says 18 pounds of marijuana and about a pound of suspected hashish butter were found in the car’s trunk, along with drug paraphernalia.

The driver was arrested on suspicion of possession of drugs for sale and other crimes. Online court records don’t show Friday whether he’s been formally charged.
