PILGER, Neb. (AP) — A Battle Creek man is dead and four others injured following a crash south of Pilger in northeastern Nebraska.

Stanton County Sheriff Mike Unger said 25-year old Marcus Kamrath died in the crash, which happened about 7 p.m. Friday.

Unger says Kamrath was a passenger in a vehicle driven by 25-year Trey Finkral, also of Battle Creek. Unger says Finkral failed to stop at a stop sign and drove into the path of a northbound vehicle driven by 18-year old Joseph Burrows, of Wayne.

Kamrath, who was trapped in the wreckage, was pronounced dead at a Norfolk hospital. Two other passengers also were taken to the hospital.

Finkral was cited on suspicion of driving drunk, and Unger says additional charges could be pending.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The three Omaha police officers involved in a shootout that killed a robbery suspect and a crew member of the TV show “Cops” will return to work next week.

Officers Darren Cunningham, Brooks Riley and Jason Wilhelm will report for duty on Monday. The three have been on administrative leave since the Aug. 26 shooting at a fast-food restaurant on Dodge Street.

Police say the officers and two-man filming crew interrupted an armed robbery at the restaurant. Police say the suspect, Cortez Washington, fired what looked and sounded like a handgun at officers, who returned fire. Washington and “Cops” sound operator Bryce Dion were killed.

Police later discovered that Washington had an air gun that shoots plastic pellets.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police say a man who crashed into the Gerald Ford birth site in Omaha has died from his injuries.

Investigators say 41-year-old Eric Tennant, of Omaha, was behind the wheel Friday morning when his van crashed into a fence and brick wall entrance of the site that makes former President Ford’s place of birth.

Police say speed and rain-slicked streets were factors in the crash. Police are also investigating whether Tennant had been drinking before the crash.

Investigators say he was not wearing a seat belt.

An employee of the birth site estimated damage to the property at between $30,000 and $50,000.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have issued a felony warrant for a man suspected of shooting another man in Omaha.

Twenty-six-year-old Marcus Wheeler is wanted on suspicion of first-degree assault and use of a weapon to commit a felony. Authorities say he is at large and considered armed and dangerous.

Wheeler is accused of shooting 27-year-old Antonio Martin on Sept. 5. Martin was dropping off his 5-year-old daughter at a residence in north Omaha when the shooting occurred. The girl was inside and unharmed.

Martin is in stable condition at a hospital.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Supreme Court has disbarred former Omaha state Sen. Brenda Council for using campaign money to gamble at casinos, despite a court-appointed referee’s opinion that she should have kept her law license.

A court-appointed referee had recommended late last year that Council receive a one-year license suspension plus two years of probation, noting that she had shown remorse, sought help for a gambling addiction and repaid the campaign funds.

But on Friday, the high court said that did not outweigh that Council had engaged in multiple acts of misappropriation while holding public office.

Council was sentenced to three years’ probation and fined $500 last year after pleading guilty to a federal wire fraud charge. She also was fined $500 after pleading guilty to state misdemeanor charges.

Doctors say Dr. Rick Sacra received two blood transfusions from Dr. Kent Brantly last weekend after arriving at the Nebraska Medical Center. Sacra has also been given an experimental drug that doctors refuse to identify. And he has received supportive care including IV fluids.

Brantly is one of the first two Americans treated for Ebola in Atlanta last month. He and Sacra are close friends from their missionary work.

The 51-year-old Sacra had been working at a hospital in Liberia.
