OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police have arrested a woman who they say punched a paramedic in the face at the scene of a traffic accident.

Police say the 25-year-old woman was arrested on Sunday and faces a charge of felony assault of a health-care worker. They say the suspect was being treated when she punched the Omaha Fire Department paramedic.

Officers used a stun gun on the woman before her arrest.

No other details about the crash or the altercation were released.

She is being held at the Douglas County jail. Online records didn’t indicate bond.

oliLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lincoln police are searching for a suspect who they say robbed a woman after she withdrew cash from an ATM.

The robbery was reported Saturday night. The woman tells police she withdrew money from the West Gate Bank and then parked in a nearby lot. She says an unarmed man approached the car, demanded her money and left with her cash and debit card.

No injuries were reported.

Police didn’t say how much money was taken. They are investigating.

CERESCO, Neb. (AP) — A self-described “pack rat” of everything Ford, Doug Swanson is planning to sell a large chunk of his collection at auction later this month.

Sixty-seven-year-old Swanson said he started collecting Ford memorabilia when he was 7 or 8 years old. Over the years he’s collected shop manuals, calendars, stationary, Ford vehicles — including a 1936 firetruck once used by the Utica Volunteer Fire Department — and Ford dealership signs.

The auction is set for Oct. 24-25 at the Saunders County Fairgrounds in Wahoo.

The owner of Welton Auction Inc. says it will be one of the largest automotive-type sales in the area. While it won’t rival a Chevy dealer’s auction in Pierce last year, he says it should generate a lot of interest from Ford fans.

DETROIT (AP) — At least 27 people have died and 25 people have been seriously injured in crashes involving General Motors cars with defective ignition switches.

Attorney Kenneth Feinberg, who was hired by GM to compensate victims, updated the totals Monday.

Feinberg says he has received 178 death claims since August. Of those, 27 have been deemed eligible for compensation payments.

Twenty-five of the 1,193 injury claimants have also received compensation offers.

GM knew about faulty ignition switches in Chevrolet Cobalts and other small cars for more than a decade but didn’t recall them until February of this year. The switches can slip out of the “on” position, which causes the cars to stall, knocks out power steering and turns off the air bags.

Feinberg will accept claims until Dec. 31.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A man suspected of shooting a Sioux City police officer has died at an Omaha hospital.

A Nebraska Medical Center spokesman on Sunday evening confirmed the death of Noah Ironshell.

Police say the 27-year-old Ironshell shot officer Jill Ohm on Oct. 3 as she responded to a Sioux City house about a disturbance and a person who might be suicidal. Police say she was shot in the chin.

Ironshell was found nearly four hours later in the basement of an abandoned home with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An American video journalist being treated for Ebola continues to show improvement and is described by hospital officials as steadily heading in the right direction.

Taylor Wilson, spokesman for Nebraska Medical Center, said Sunday doctors are pleased with 33-year-old Ashoka Mukpo’s (ah-SHOH’-kuh MUK’-pohz) progress and that he was better Sunday than the day before.

He’s described as weak but responding very well to treatment.

He’s receiving an experimental Ebola drug called brincidofovir (brin-sih-duh-FAH’-vur) and IV fluids.

Mukpo became infected while working as a freelance cameraman for Vice News, NBC News and other media outlets. He returned to Liberia in early September to help highlight the toll of the Ebola outbreak.

BLAIR, Neb. (AP) — Authorities in eastern Nebraska say a 15-year-old boy has died in a single-vehicle crash.

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office says the boy was killed Saturday when a vehicle he was riding in crashed near Blair. They haven’t released information about anyone else in the vehicle but no other injuries were reported.

Authorities haven’t released his names but friends identified him as Trent Hill to KETV-TV and WOWT-TV. They say the sophomore was on the wrestling team at Blair High School.

It’s unclear what caused the crash. Authorities say he wasn’t wearing a seat belt.

The event at Morrill Hall on UNL’s campus will offer a chance to learn more about the importance of insects that spread pollen, how we turn plants into fuels and the connection between food and water.

The event will run from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday at the State Museum of Natural History. The museum charges $6 admission for adults and $3 for kids, ages 5 to 18.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) — Nearly 200 students of a Kansas-based college have joined a lawsuit that accuses the school of fraud.

The lawsuit against Wright Career College was filed last year but amended recently to add 195 more students. The current and former students attended Wright’s campuses in Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma.

The lawsuit states the private, nonprofit college enticed student to enroll and apply for student loans that they can’t pay back. It also claims Wright deceived students about attendance costs and employment prospects.

An attorney representing the college called the allegations “absurd.” She says the college offers resources for student success and has never promised or guaranteed employment after graduation.
