NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln man has completed a nearly 200-mile run in five days from Valentine to Norfolk.

Tom Volk started in Valentine on Monday of last week and finished his 196-mile trek Friday in Norfolk. He says he ran about 12 minutes and 30 seconds for each mile, which included a few walk breaks.

He started his journey with Andy Pollock, who also lives in Lincoln. They had hoped to make the run together to call attention to the need to finish the trail west of Valentine. They planned to only stop for water, other liquids and food about every 10 miles. Pollock ran 101 miles before stopping on Wednesday, because of a half-dollar sized blister on his left foot.

The Thurston County Sheriff’s Office says a 17-year-old boy died at a Sioux City, Iowa, hospital after his car rolled about 6 a.m. Saturday on Nebraska Highway 16 just west of Pender.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa fugitive has been apprehended in northeast Nebraska’s Dakota County.

Iowa prisons spokesman Fred Scaletta said Monday that 42-year-old Cletus Armell already has been transferred to Woodbury County Jail in northwest Iowa.

Armell was listed as escaped on July 14 after he didn’t return to the Sioux City work release facility from an appointment.

Records show Armell escaped from a residential work release center in Sioux City in 2012. He was captured a short time later and was returned to prison.

In November 2013 he was again transferred to work release. His original sentence was 15 years for armed robbery.

WACO, Neb. (AP) — BNSF Railway officials are working to determine what caused a coal train to partially derail in York County.

Mounds of spilled coal shut down two tracks and a street in Waco on Sunday. A railway spokesman says the train was headed east when 28 of its 119 cars derailed. All but one of the derailed cars landed on their sides.

No injuries were reported.

The spokesman says it will likely take a few days to clean up the coal.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lincoln firefighters say a carelessly discarded cigarette caused an apartment fire that sent a girl to the hospital and temporarily displaced four people.

Fire & Rescue officials say the two-alarm blaze on Sunday caused about $75,000 in damages to the downtown building. There were 19 people in the 12-unit complex at the time but no injuries were reported.

Firefighters say the cigarette caught the third floor deck on fire and spread to two apartments.

The Red Cross relocated four residents. The girl was transported to an area hospital for an evaluation.

One person is in custody following a pursuit which stemmed from domestic disturbance in Scribner.

Just before 12:30 p.m., troopers responded to reports of a possible assault and kidnapping in the Dodge County town of Scribner. Troopers encountered a Dodge County Deputy with a blue, 2005 Jeep Liberty stopped near Hooper on Highway 275. The vehicle took off from the traffic stop and a pursuit ensued.

NSP took over the pursuit near Highway 275 & 77, with the vehicle headed eastbound on 275 at speeds of 80-85 mph. The jeep continued eastbound on Highway 6/Dodge Street, where attempts to spike the vehicle’s tires were made.  The vehicle ran over a set of spike strips near 168^th & Dodge Streets, shredding a rear tire and reducing speeds to 55 mph. The driver continued eastbound onto the elevated Dodge Expressway. Four NSP units boxed in the vehicle in an attempt to stop it. The vehicle struck an NSP unit, and made contact with three other units before coming to a stop near 126^th & Dodge. The pursuit last approximately 30 minutes.

The suspect driver of the vehicle, Terence L. Dean, 32, Omaha, was taken into custody without incident. Dean was transported to Nebraska Medical Center for complaint of minor injuries. Once medically cleared he will be lodged in the Dodge County Jail on charges of Felony Flight to Avoid Arrest and Willful Reckless Driving.

The female victim in the car was uninjured and not transported.

RAYMOND, Neb. (AP) — Collecting piles of scrap metal, including some tornadoes left behind earlier this year, is helping a 72-year-old Nebraska man lead his small congregation’s effort to raise money for a new building.

Since 2010, Lyle McKlem has raised about $40,000 for Raymond United Methodist Church by selling the scrap metal he collects.

McKlem said he got the idea of collecting large pieces of metal after the church held an aluminum can drive.

Through word of mouth the campaign has grown, and McKlem says he gets calls regularly now from farmers or landowners with scrap metal to donate.
