OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a man sought on an arrest warrant for drugs has been fatally shot by Douglas County sheriff’s deputies in southeast Omaha.

A 911 audio recording shows deputies reported that they’d been fired upon and called for help. None of the deputies reported being injured. A 19-year-old woman near the scene was treated for cuts to a leg. It’s unclear how her injuries occurred.

The man was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival at an Omaha hospital. He’s been identified as David Anderson.

The deputies involved have been placed on paid administrative leave. The Omaha Police Department has taken over the shooting investigation.

The Iowa Natural Resources Department says in a news release that the accident occurred just before 8 p.m. Sunday, about four miles south of the Little Sioux boat ramp. The department says the man was sitting in the boat bow when the boat hit the wake of another vessel, causing him to fall out over the bow.

Other passengers got him back in the boat, and he was later flown to an Omaha hospital. The man was identified as 23-year-old Nathan Case, who lives in Omaha.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A man who punched a police officer so hard the officer’s face was shattered has been given 15 to 20 years in a Nebraska prison.

Thirty-two-year-old Chaz Hill was sentenced Tuesday in Douglas County District Court. A judge gave Hill 335 days credit for time served. Hill had pleaded guilty to assault on an officer.

Police say Officer Tom Arrance responded to a disturbance at a gas station Oct. 7 and confronted a man who witnesses say was acting oddly. Police say Hill punched Arrance just once, breaking the officer’s nose, a cheekbone and the bones around one eye. Doctors used six metal plates and 17 screws to repair the damage.

Witnesses say Hill appeared to try to remove Arrance’s gun from its holster before fleeing.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha city officials say they’re working on a panhandling ordinance to address a problem that some people believe has gotten worse.

City officials say they’re hearing about the problem frequently. City prosecutor Matt Kuhse says he’s working on a panhandling ordinance that he hopes the city council can vote on by the end of the year.

Kuhse says the ordinance will need to balance what the community wants with what the constitution and federal courts have said about panhandling.

Steve Frazee, senior program director at Open Door Mission, a local shelter, says giving a panhandler money is likely not going to take care of the needs they have.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a 24-year-old Grand Island woman has died in a car crash in rural Hall County.

Worthington was declared dead at the scene. She was wearing a seat belt. Authorities say they believe the crash may have happened during the early-morning hours on Friday.

A Nebraska State Patrol accident report notes that Grand Island police had reported that Worthington fled from an officer just before midnight on Thursday. Grand Island police say Worthington fled on Highway 34 to avoid arrest.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — Officials with the Grand Island City Cemetery are asking to be removed as a site for the Pokemon Go game, saying it’s disrespectful and causing maintenance problems.

Cemetery employees have seen an increase in visitors since the game debuted in early July. Many are kids walking through the cemetery with their phones, and more recently, certain parts of the cemetery have seen an increase in traffic.

Cemetery superintendent Mark Sands says a dirt road around a Civil War monument has seen more extensive rutting, and staff members have reported broken sprinkler heads and tire tracks in the grass near the game’s hot spots.

Sands says some parents have brought their children out to play at the cemetery.
