The 40-year-old Davis was accused in 2013 of hitting a woman with a rubber mallet. In March, he was accused of holding a knife to another woman’s throat and choking her and cutting her hair.

Davis pleaded no contest to second-degree domestic assault and pleaded guilty to third-degree domestic assault as part of a deal. He also pleaded guilty to driving with a revoked license.

Davis’ attorney said his client has mental health issues and was off medication during the assaults.

The students got an unexpected field trip Monday morning to Ralston Arena because of a water main break outside their school building. The kids and staff were taken to the arena for the day so the loss of class time would be minimized.

Gibbs says the school has about 175 children enrolled in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Lincoln Children’s Zoo has asked for $200,000 from Lancaster County to upgrade its Galapagos tortoise exhibit.

The zoo wants to make the enclosure more interactive and conducive to allowing the animals to lay their eggs.

The zoo already has $150,000 pledged for the renovation and received tentative approval from the County Board on Thursday. Board members expressed support to spend the $200,000 from a visitors’ fund that comes from a lodging tax.

The zoo president says he wants to begin the renovation before the five-night Boo at the Zoo event in October. He expects the project could be completed before the zoo reopens for its next regular season in mid-April.

He plans to bring a tortoise to Tuesday’s board meeting.

Hubka says around a dozen men would gather under the trees during the day and up to 20 would spend the night there in tents or in a mud hut. He says there was a lot of drinking at the site, and police had reported assaults and other crimes on the land. The Salt Creek Levee trail runs along the property.

YORK, Neb. (AP) — York has settled a lawsuit filed by a former firefighter who alleged sex discrimination for her firing in a disability case.

City and insurance officials had agreed to pay Lisa Peter $100,000.

Peter sued in 2012, saying a city administrator denied her requests for light duty after she broke her heel in a non-work-related accident. When she was not cleared to work without restrictions after she had exhausted her sick days, vacation and federal medical leave, she was fired and replaced by a man.

Her lawsuit says that three years earlier, the same city administrator cut the weekly hours of an ailing male firefighter to ensure he would not run out of leave. He also was given light duty.
