BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) — A woman in southeast Nebraska has been accused of putting carpet cleaner into her boyfriend’s mother’s drink in an attempt to poison her.

Court documents say 25-year-old Amanda J. Nelson, of Beatrice, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of assault after local authorities responded to a verbal disturbance at a residence. A woman there claimed her tongue went numb after drinking tea she had in the refrigerator. She threw up the drink.

Authorities say Nelson was angry with the woman. They say Nelson told officers she put carpet cleaner into the drink to poison the woman.

The Beatrice Daily Sun reports (https://bit.ly/1GyEFnF ) Nelson appeared in Gage County court Thursday. Records do not list an attorney.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Supreme Court has reversed a more than $200,000 default judgment against a Virginia company that was the victim of mistaken identity.

The ruling comes in a lawsuit by Benjamin Carrel against federal contractor Serco Inc. after a man driving a pickup registered to a Texas company with a similar name ran over Carrel’s foot.

When the Virginia company failed to respond to court summons or appear in court, a default judgment of $210,216 was entered.

Serco attorneys said they only became aware of the case after garnishment proceedings began. The company sought to vacate the judgment, and proved that it had never employed the driver or owned the truck that ran over Carrel’s foot.

The high court said Friday that allowing the judgment to stand would be unjust.

SIDNEY, Neb. (AP) — A Cheyenne County judge has given a Sidney man 35 to 60 years in prison for threatening and terrorizing a woman at a Sidney motel.

Court records say 36-year-old Jason Assad was sentenced on Thursday. He’d been convicted of several charges, including false imprisonment, terroristic threatening and use of a weapon to commit a felony.

The woman told officers who responded to a call last September that Assad had threatened to rape her, placed a knife to her throat and struck her repeatedly. Court documents say the victim had two black eyes and bruises on her body.

Assad’s attorney had argued in court that his client never threatened the woman or sought to terrorize her.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A southeastern Nebraska farmer hopes to harvest oil that’s oozing out of his land.

The Lincoln Journal Star (https://bit.ly/1dzKoOv ) reports that Alvin Simon says he has known for decades about a possible “river of oil” underneath his Richardson County land. He thought about acting on it around 20 years ago, getting his land tested before putting it in the Conservation Reserve Program.

Colorado-based Orion Geophysical Consulting told him in 1994 that it didn’t find high enough levels of petroleum to warrant further investigation. But it said that it didn’t mean there wasn’t the possibility of oil and gas pools in deep formations.

Simon says the oil began appearing on his land following heavy rainfall this spring.

He says he has invited oil companies to take a look at his land.

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission says it is lifting a temporary boating ban imposed at Bridgeport State Recreation Area in the Panhandle after a moose was spotted.

The moose was seen on the island in Center Lake, as well as in the park and the surrounding vicinity. She frequently swam between the island and the park shore.

Officials say the moose’s affinity for swimming clashed with the public’s desire for skiing and other water sports, causing Game and Parks to ban boats from the lake for the safety of the public as well as the moose.

The last confirmed sighting occurred June 4. Officials say that if the moose returns to the park, they will make another assessment about appropriate action.

Moose often are aggressive toward people and pets.

BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska man who tried to extort an Ohio 16-year-old into sending him more sex photos has been imprisoned for 30 years.

Federal prosecutors say 37-year-old Christopher Brackett, of Bellevue, was sentenced Thursday in Omaha. He’d been convicted by a Nebraska jury of producing, transporting and possessing child pornography.

Prosecutors say Brackett met the 16-year-old girl online and went to Canton, Ohio, twice in 2013 to have sex with her and record several images.

Once home he asked her for more sexually explicit images. When she declined despite his threats to post the earlier images on the Internet, he went ahead and posted them. He listed her phone and address and encouraged people to call or to stop at her home for sex.

She told her parents. They called authorities.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — President Barack Obama has nominated an Omaha attorney to fill a vacant federal judgeship in Nebraska.

Robert Rossiter Jr. would replace U.S. District Judge Joseph Bataillon (buh-TAL’-yuhn), who is taking senior status. Rossiter is a partner at Fraser Stryker, where he specializes in labor and employment issues.

Rossiter’s nomination was announced by the White House on Thursday. Rossiter’s name was sent to the president about 10 months ago by U.S. Sen. Deb Fischer and then-U.S. Sen. Mike Johanns, who has since been replaced by U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse (sass).

Rossiter, a Republican, now faces confirmation by the U.S. Senate.
