LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A man has been taken into custody, peacefully ending his standoff with officers about a mile east of the Capitol in Lincoln.

Officers were sent to the residence Wednesday afternoon after learning that the man was threatening to shoot others with a rifle and kill himself. No shots or injuries have been reported.

Lincoln police Capt. Mayde (MAYE’-dee) McGuire says the man gave up around 8 p.m., about four hours after officers arrived. His name hasn’t been released.

WINNEBAGO, Neb. (AP) — The Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska’s council has expelled four members accused of corruption.

The council voted to remove Thomas Snowball Sr., Louis Houghton Jr., Larry Payer and Charles Aldrich from office after ethics hearings were held for them.

A tribal investigative committee released a report in February saying council members had given themselves large raises and bonuses. The report also said council members gave tens of thousands of dollars through loans and discretionary grants to tribal members, many of whom were likely voters.

Council members Travis Mallory and Morgan Earth and chairman John Blackhawk resigned after the release of the report.

BLAIR, Neb. (AP) — A 16-year-old from Blair has been given probation for the crash death of one of his friends last year.

On Monday the teen was sentenced to 30 months of probation and ordered to complete 150 hours of community. The boy had pleaded no contest and was convicted of three misdemeanors: vehicular homicide, careless driving and misuse of a learner’s permit. The Associated Press generally doesn’t name juveniles accused of crimes.

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office says the teen was driving near Blair on Oct. 11 when the vehicle flipped. The teen’s friend, 15-year-old Trent Hill, was fatally injured.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Police say University of Nebraska-Lincoln student reported missing last week may have fallen into a creek and been swept away in strong currents.

The Lincoln Police Department on Wednesday said a local business’ video surveillance camera contained footage of a woman who is believed to be 30-year-old Anwesha Dey. She was last seen leaving a friend’s house on foot about 7 p.m. on May 3.

The video obtained by investigators Tuesday shows her trying to cross Antelope Creek, falling in and appearing to struggle as she attempted to gain her footing. It then shows her being carried away by the current.

Chief Jim Peschong says crews have begun searching the area. He says heavy rainfall that hammered the Lincoln area last week could have carried her body further downstream.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 36-year-old man convicted of a hate crime in connection with an assault on a Marine in downtown Omaha didn’t show up to his sentencing hearing.

An arrest warrant was issued Wednesday after Missouri-native Gregory Duncan didn’t appear for his scheduled sentencing on a third-degree assault conviction. He was charged with punching Ryan Langenegger in the face after using derogatory names regarding the sexual orientation of Langenegger’ friends.

Duncan’s attorney says his client hadn’t informed him that he wouldn’t show up to his sentencing.

Jurors found Duncan guilty in February. During his trial, Duncan’s attorney accused his client’s friends of making the derogatory slurs. But prosecutors argued that Duncan had no other reason to punch Langenegger, who they say was peacefully defending his friends.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A judge has ordered a state psychiatric hospital to release an ailing man who in 1992 tried to shoot up a Lincoln college classroom of students.

Retired Judge Paul Merritt Jr. says 66-year-old Arthur McElroy has become too feeble to present a danger to anyone. Merritt says McElroy is to be released no sooner than June 1 from the Lincoln Regional Center.

Court records say McElroy tried to fire a military carbine into a science class of about 20 students, but the weapon jammed. A judge later ruled that McElroy was insane and not responsible for his actions.

Records say McElroy has since been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and other maladies.

McElroy is expected to go to a local nursing home.
