LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Police say a Lincoln woman has died after being hit by a bicyclist along the Antelope Valley Trail.

Sgt. Kathleen Phillips says Paulette Johnson had suffered head injuries when she was struck along the Lincoln trail Friday morning while picking up trash. The 62-year-old Johnson died Saturday.

Police say no one has been cited or arrested as a result of their crash investigation.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha councilman wants the city to commit taxpayer dollars to a sports organization in which police officers work with at-risk youths.

Councilman Pete Festersen will propose amending the city’s 2017 budget to give $20,000 to Police Athletics for Community Engagement. The council will vote Aug. 23 on the proposed $917 million budget, along with any amendments.

The city indirectly supports the organization through the officers’ volunteer work and the organization’s use of city parks. But Festersen said this would be the first time the city contributed money directly.

He says that, given recent protest nationwide about police shootings, he thinks it’s important for cities to focus on prevention and police-community relations.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lancaster County officials say they want to handle Lincoln’s juvenile court cases and plan to notify the city of their consolidation wishes.

The county won’t ask the city for financial support. City Attorney Jeff Kirkpatrick has said he won’t be able to cut his staff if all juvenile cases were to move to county prosecutors.

A task force looking at a county-city merger recommended in 2013 that county prosecutors handle all juvenile cases to avoid confusion for youths and their families. Judges also have said having one office handle the cases is in the best interest of those directly involved.

The city attorney’s staff handles only cases involving juveniles ages 16 and 17 who are accused of committing misdemeanors within the city limits.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Police say combined weights for a 10-year-old boy and two other people riding a raft with him at a water park when he was killed were within the ride’s limits.

Caleb Schwab died August 7 while riding the 168-foot “Verruckt” at Schlitterbahn WaterPark in Kansas City, Kansas. Riders are weighed to ensure each raft carries between 400 pounds and 550 pounds.

Police Monday released a report showing one rider at 140 pounds, another at 170, and an unclear weight for Caleb. He would have to weigh 90 pounds to make the trio’s weight reach 400 pounds.

But police said weights taken at a hospital after the accident show one person weighed 275 pounds, another weighed 197 pounds and a third weighed 73 pounds, putting the combined weight at 545 pounds.

BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) — A 53-year-old Lincoln man accused of trying to sell stolen cattle has been given two years in prison.

Cork Tyan was sentenced Friday. Tyan had taken a deal in which he pleaded guilty to theft and attempted theft. Prosecutors lowered one of the theft charges in exchange for Tyan’s pleas.

Authorities say Tyan went to a Gage County sale barn in February and tried to sell some calves that later proved to have been stolen from a rancher in Hayes County. Authorities also say Tyan admitted stealing barbed wire from a Beatrice store.

WOODWARD, Okla. (AP) — The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says two Nebraskans were killed in a single-vehicle crash in northwestern Oklahoma.

The OHP says 27-year-old Javier Salas Adame of Crete and 23-year-old Mariano Torrero Ortiz of Lincoln died Saturday in the crash on Highway 34 north of Woodward.

An OHP report says the two were in a pickup truck driven by Adame and towing a vehicle on a dolly when the dolly began to swerve. The report says the pickup then went out of control and rolled twice, throwing both Adame and Ortiz from the truck.

Both men were pronounced dead at the scene. A third man in the truck was treated and released at a hospital.

The report says the weather was clear and the road was dry at the time of the crash.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 17-month-old boy was injured in an Omaha shooting on Sunday, but police say he is expected to survive the incident.

Omaha Police say the shooting was reported around 4:39 a.m. Sunday in northeast Omaha.

Police say the boy was being placed into a car by his father when a suspect in another vehicle driving by opened fire.

The boy’s injuries were likely caused by broken glass or shrapnel. Police are looking for a Jeep Liberty SUV that may have been involved.

The incident was one of several shootings reported in Omaha.

Four other women were also injured in two separate overnight shootings in Omaha. None of those injuries are believed to be life threatening.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) Lincoln fire officials say a person has been hurt jumping from an upstairs window of a burning home.

Firefighters responded to reports of the fire in north Lincoln before 1 p.m. Friday. Officials say the fire was in one of the home’s bedrooms and was under control within 15 minutes.

When firefighters arrived, they found a person on the home’s lawn. That person was taken to a hospital for treatment of injuries not believed to be life-threatening.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police say a number of telephone scams in which people are threatened with arrest have been reported recently in the city.

The calls are generated from an area code outside of Nebraska.

Police say the callers identify themselves as a special agent from the Internal Revenue Service, and even sometimes give a badge number. The callers will claim that the IRS has issued an arrest warrant for the person and the matter can be settled with a wire transfer payment of thousands of dollars.

Police say local, state and federal agencies will always interact in person, not just over the phone. Residents are urged to never give out their bank information over the phone or wire money to an unknown account.
