SCHUYLER, Neb. (AP) — Dispatchers in Colfax County in eastern Nebraska will soon be able to receive text messages for 911 emergencies.

The Colfax County Board of Commissioners recently approved a measure to spend more than $100,000 on a new text-to-911 system. It will give emergency dispatchers at the county courthouse in Schuyler the ability to receive text messages from cellphones and other devices.

Colfax County Sheriff Paul Kruse says there are benefits to the service, such as offering domestic violence victims a second option to contact dispatchers. It will also help people with hearing and speech impairments.

Several other Nebraska counties have plans to offer the service. Kruse says the system in Colfax County should be installed within the next 90 days.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — Authorities have identified two Council Bluffs police officers involved in a shooting earlier this week.

Department officials said Officers Jarrod Poore and Corey Woodward were involved in the shooting.

Police say that around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, officers spotted a stolen Corvette and that the driver accelerated toward them, so they opened fire before the car struck their cruiser. Neither officer was injured.

A chase ensued across the Missouri River in Omaha, Nebraska, and 33-year-old Jesse Wilkinson was soon arrested.

He was taken to a hospital for treatment of gunshot wounds.

Wilkinson is currently being held in an Omaha jail on an unrelated federal warrant charging him with being a felon in possession of a firearm.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Police have identified a Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad employee found dead in a Lincoln rail yard early Christmas morning.

62-year-old Charles Lee Roberts was found shortly after midnight on Christmas by a co-worker after Roberts didn’t return from a routine train check.

Lincoln police Capt. David Beggs says investigators don’t believe Roberts’ death is suspicious, but are still trying to determine the cause.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police have identified a man whose body was found Friday in a northwest Omaha mobile home and arrested the man’s son on suspicion of murder.

Police say the body of 56-year-old Christopher Incontro was found around 11 a.m. Friday after officers were sent to the mobile home to check on his well-being.

Within a couple of hours of Incontro’s body being found, police had arrested his son, 25-year-old Nicholas Burden, on suspicion of second-degree murder and use of a weapon to commit a felony.

Police have not said how Incontro died or how long he had been dead.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission has announced it will burn brush piles, as weather and snow cover allow, at several sites across the state.

Brush piles are created by the removal of invading trees in grassland or timber stands or from trees damaged in storms. The commission says removal of brush piles will open grasslands and timber for continued management, eliminate fuel for wildfires and eliminate sites conducive to the germination of noxious and invasive plants.

The brush pile burns are scheduled for state recreational and wildlife management areas in 11 counties, including Antelope, Burt, Knox, Jefferson, Lancaster and Otoe counties. Other counties are Saline, Seward, Thayer, Pawnee and Washington.

CRETE, Neb. (AP) — A rural Nebraska man has died after his pickup slammed into a tree.

Sixty-six-year-old Dale Workman of Crete died Friday morning.

The Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office says Workman may have suffered a major medical problem before the collision. That’s because investigators believe speed, distracted driving, weather conditions and alcohol use were not contributing factors.

Workman was alone in his pickup and not wearing a seat belt. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police are investigating the death of a man whose body was found in a northwest neighborhood apartment.

Police say a suspect in the man’s death is in police custody.

Police said in a news release that officers were sent to the apartment late Friday morning to check on the well-being of a person and found the body of the man there.

Police have not yet released the identities of the man found dead or the suspect being held, but say no other suspects are being sought. No details of how the man died have been released.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Police in Lincoln say a computer store has been burglarized for the second time in nine months.

A city employee called police at 2:30 a.m. Friday after seeing men dressed in masks hauling equipment through a broken window.

Lincoln police chief Jim Peschong says investigators were still waiting Friday for staffers to determine what was missing. But the value of the stolen equipment could be as much as $30,000.

The store was robbed by two men wearing masks and carrying a machete, a stun gun and a baton in March. Police arrested three people from Omaha suspected in at least seven Lincoln-area robberies.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska attorney general’s office is seeking disciplinary action against a Lincoln orthopedic surgeon and former Husker football player who is accused of practicing medicine while impaired.

The petition filed this week alleges that Dr. Scott E. Strasburger arrived at work on Nov. 26 in an impaired state that prevented him from performing surgeries.

According to the petition, Strasburger refused to submit to a drug test. The petition says Strasburger failed a drug test in July, months after completing an outpatient treatment program. It says Strasburger initially tested positive for a controlled substance in October 2013.

A phone message left at Strasburger’s office wasn’t immediately returned. A home phone number rang unanswered.

Strasburger was a defensive end for the Huskers and was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 1985.
