Halley Hansen is unable to live independently and is cognitively impaired because of her traumatic brain injury. The lawsuit filed Wednesday in Lancaster County District Court seeks nearly $630,000 for her daughter’s medical bills and more than $10.1 million for the estimated cost of future care.

Authorities say Hansen was in the crosswalk on A Street east of Capitol Parkway just after 1 p.m. when Louis Keester turned left and hit her with his Toyota Venza. Hansen was thrown to the ground, her head hitting the street. Keester later pleaded guilty to a failure to yield to a pedestrian charge.

The Norfolk Daily News reports that Gina Ainsworth filed the lawsuit Tuesday in district court. Ainsworth was employed by the city from April 2010 until Dec. 12, 2016, and says she received positive feedback from supervisors and co-workers while working under three different mayors.

Ainsworth says she exercised her free-speech rights and displayed a sign in her yard in favor of recalling Brandl during an unsuccessful 2016 recall campaign. She alleges that she received a call on Dec. 12 that she would not be reappointed later that day during the city council meeting and was given the opportunity to resign.

Brandl hasn’t responded to the lawsuit.

The charges come in the death of 49-year-old Todd Miller, whose body was found Aug. 16, 2017, in his Culbertson home. Court records say Miller was killed during a robbery attempt and that Mason bought items used in the crime.

Other court records detailing Miller’s death and Mason’s suspected role have been sealed from public view.

U.S. Attorney for Nebraska Joe Kelly says 30-year-old Kevin Brown was sentenced Thursday in Lincoln’s federal court. Brown was also ordered to pay nearly $85,000 in restitution.

Prosecutors say Brown and at least one other person robbed a Great Western Bank branch on Old Cheney Road in Lincoln on June 22.

Police determined the robbers left the bank in a car rented from an Omaha business. Brown was arrested the day after the robbery when he returned the car. Police found a mask and other items believed to have been used in the robbery on Brown.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports that the police department has already purchased a 13,000-square-foot warehouse with plans for an 18,000-square-foot addition.

Fleet superintendent Pat Wenzl says the extra space will accommodate expected growth in the city’s police vehicle fleet.

Department officials say city money is better spent on a new garage since estimated roof repairs alone have totaled about $600,000. The garage services police cruisers and the city’s more than 600 light-duty vehicles.

Wenzl says plans for the new garage are still being designed. He says the department hopes to seek bids on the project in January and potentially finish in 2020.

MADISON, Neb. (AP) — A northeast Nebraska county has approved a request for a wind company to begin recording wind-speed and weather data in preparation for a possible wind farm.

The Madison County Board of Commissioners approved a conditional-use permit Tuesday for Emerick Wind to construct a tower to collect the information.

The site of the temporary tower is on land about 8 miles south and 1.5 miles west of Meadow Grove.

The company Lincoln Clean Energy is developing the project for Emerick Wind.

A news release Wednesday from federal prosecutors says 23-year-old Javonn Lewis, of Indianapolis, is accused of robbing a Lincoln pharmacy in March, and 19-year-old Michael White, of Muncie, Indiana, is accused of robbing an Omaha pharmacy in February. Both are charged with two counts: robbery and robbery involving controlled substances.

If convicted, each faces up to 20 years in prison on each count. There is no parole in the federal system.

The pair also face similar charges in Minnesota for pharmacy robberies in that state.

29-year-old Victor Genetti, of Sugar Creek, Missouri, has pleaded no contest to motor vehicle homicide in the March 1 death of a 26-year-old India Marie Simpson, of Waxhaw, North Carolina. In exchange for his plea, prosecutors will ask for a sentence of two years’ probation.

Simpson had been a passenger in a vehicle that had broken down near Giltner. Investigators say she was walking along the interstate shoulder to a tow truck when a semi driven by Genetti hit and killed her.

Fremont’s City Council unanimously approved its annual agreement with Kobach on Tuesday. Since 2010, the city has paid the Republican, who lost his bid to become Kansas governor this fall, a total of $101,817.29.

Fremont Mayor Scott Getzchman said the city wants to maintain its contract with Kobach, so he could defend the ordinance against any new challenges.

Fremont voters twice supported the rule that bans renting homes to immigrants living in the country illegally and requires employers to use a federal online system to check whether prospective employees are permitted to work in the U.S.
