(AP) — Adams County prosecutors have filed a juvenile charge of manslaughter against the 9-year-old brother of a Hastings boy who was shot to death last week.

The boy has been taken from his family’s home and placed in state care. He’s accused of firing a .22-caliber rifle bullet that struck 4-year-old Beau Pecor in the head the morning of April 18. Beau was pronounced dead later at a local hospital. Other family members were home when the shot was fired.

Authorities say the rifle is owned by the boyfriend of Beau’s mother. Neither adult has been charged.

The older brother’s name has not been released.

DENVER (AP) — The federal government has reluctantly agreed to let Colorado be the first state to collect taxes from the legal sale of recreational marijuana, but it has also made clear it doesn’t agree with the move and may try to stop it, if isn’t tightly controlled.

Instead of keeping a low profile with the money, however, some Colorado lawmakers are wanting to use the millions of dollars they’ve collected from pot sales to seek matching federal funds to keep kids of drugs.

The plan calls for transferring $3.5 million from the state’s marijuana cash fund to its general fund and then sending the same amount to a state department that would apply for the federal match.

Supporters say the move shouldn’t cause any concerns, it simply acknowledges and avoids potential conflict.

(AP) — A man removed from a Southwest Airlines aircraft in Omaha after he allegedly tried to open a door during the flight has pleaded not guilty to charges and will undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas Thalken says a federal grand jury returned an indictment against 23-year-old Joshua Carl Suggs, of Sacramento, Calif. He will be evaluated then returned to federal court for a competency hearing.

Suggs has been charged with interfering with a flight crew in connection to the April 13 incident. The California-bound flight was diverted to Omaha after Suggs allegedly pushed his way past a flight attendant and tried to open a door. Several passengers helped restrain him.

Suggs’ attorney, James Martin Davis, requested the evaluation. He says his client needs help.

(AP) — An Omaha day care owner accused of failing to report child abuse has pleaded no contest.

Jennifer Schmaderer, owner of Grow with Me Day Care, entered the plea Thursday.

Schmaderer is accused of failing to report the actions of Sarah Cullen, a former employee at the day care. Cullen was found guilty in March of child abuse resulting in death. A child under her care in late February 2013 died after suffering a fractured skull and massive bleeding.

Prosecutors in court presented incidents where questionable actions by Cullen at the day care were not reported by Schmaderer.

The no contest plea means Schmaderer does not admit guilt, but concedes there’s enough evidence to convict her. She will be sentenced on July 24.

(AP) — Residents of a small town in southwestern Wyoming are being allowed to return home nearly 22 hours after an explosion at a natural gas processing plant forced their evacuation.

No injuries were reported in the explosion at about 2 p.m. Wednesday in Opal (oh-PAL’). The town of about 95 people about 100 miles northeast of Salt Lake City was evacuated as a precaution against further explosions and smoke.

Lincoln County spokesman Stephen Malik said that the evacuation order was lifted shortly after 11:30 a.m. Thursday.

Malik says a fire is still burning at the plant but authorities say it and the smoke no longer pose a risk.

There’s no immediate word on what caused the explosion.

(AP) — The Nebraska Supreme Court has again dismissed an appeal by a former University of Nebraska Medical Center student who says the school discriminated against him when it kicked him out.

The student filed the lawsuit after he was dismissed in 2006 for poor performance. He filed anonymously as John Doe and served as his own attorney, accusing UNMC, various staff members and the university Board of Regents of breach of contract, fraudulent concealment and violating the federal Americans with Disabilities Act.

Doe says he told officials he was chronically depressed, but school officials denied that.

The state’s high court previously rejected Doe’s breach of contract and fraudulent concealment claims. On Friday, it found that a lower court was right to dismiss Doe’s remaining discrimination claim.
