Fisher was convicted of thefts that occurred from September 2012 through March 2014 while working at a Bank of the West branch. Prosecutors say Fisher took the money from 17 customers’ accounts.

Authorities say 13 people were arrested in Lincoln as a part of a sex trafficking sting conducted by a national coalition of law enforcement agencies between Jan. 17 and Feb. 7.

Police say six of the 13 people arrested in Lincoln were potential sex buyers. An additional five people were cited for prostitution and two others for pandering after driving women to hotels for prostitution.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Douglas County officials say five restaurants have been closed for operating without a permit.

Officials with the county health department say a food supervisor was accompanied by an Omaha police officer to issue citations to the restaurant owners and close the businesses on Wednesday. The department did not identify the restaurants that were closed.

The enforcement comes after county officials revealed Monday that they’d soon begin closing 165 food and drink businesses that don’t have permits.

The businesses were notified and reminded of expiring permits in November and January.

The closed facilities will need to pass a full inspection before they can re-open.

The release says enforcement will continue Thursday as there are roughly 50 remaining facilities that have not yet complied.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police have arrested a 63-year-old man they say fired several shots inside a southwest Omaha bar, then retreated to a nearby apartment building where he fired more shots at officers.

The shooting at the Parliament Pub, which is located in an outdoor shopping center, happened around 2 p.m. Police spokeswoman Jessica Swanson says several people were inside the bar when the man walked in with a long gun and began shooting. Swanson says no one was shot.

Swanson says the shooter then left the bar, went into a nearby apartment and later fired shots at responding officers, but no officers were injured. Swanson says a police negotiator was able to talk the man into surrendering around 3 p.m. Wednesday.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 25-year-old Omaha man has pleaded guilty to killing his mother and his 4-year-old half brother to avoid the death penalty.

Roberto Martinez-Marinero pleaded guilty Wednesday in Douglas County District Court to two counts of first-degree murder in the May 5 deaths of 45-year-old Jesus Ismenia Marinero and 4-year-old Josue Ramirez-Marinero.

He is sentenced to a mandatory term of life in prison.

Prosecutors say Martinez-Marinero repeatedly stabbed and beat his mother in a dispute over money. He dumped her body in a ditch, left his 11-month-old half brother in a dumpster and threw his 4-year-old half brother to his death from a bridge over the Elkhorn River.

A passer-by discovered the baby after hearing noises coming from the trash bin. The boy, wearing only a diaper, suffered only bruises.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 19-year-old Omaha woman has been sentenced to probation for posting a photo of a naked girl who had been assaulted by her brother and his friend.

Judge Greg Schatz sentenced Jalyia Templeman on Tuesday to two years of probation.

Templeman had faced up to 20 months in prison after pleading no contest to recording a juvenile in a state of undress. During the sentencing, Schatz cited Templeman’s lack of record, remorse and young age.

Templeman told Schatz that she didn’t know her brother, Javohn Templeman, and his friend, Nicholas Bregg, had repeatedly raped the 16-year-old girl. Javohn Templeman and Bregg have been convicted in the case.

Jalyia Templeman’s attorney, Molly Blazek, said her client was helpful throughout the case.

PLATTSMOUTH, Neb. (AP) — A 30-year-old woman convicted in a fatal hit-and-run collision in eastern Nebraska has been sentenced to eight to 10 years in prison.

Mandy MacDonald was sentenced Tuesday. MacDonald pleaded no contest in November to motor vehicle homicide and a felony count of leaving the scene of an injury accident. She will receive credit for 255 days served in jail.

Authorities say MacDonald lost control of her car on May 31 near the Interstate 80 Greenwood exit and collided with another westbound vehicle. That vehicle went into a roadside ditch and rolled, ejecting its driver, 50-year-old Kristin Olson of Grand Island.

Authorities say MacDonald fled the scene, but was stopped by a state trooper a few miles west of the collision.
