(AP) — Authorities say a 60-year-old man was in critical condition after being pulled from an eastern Nebraska lake.

Lancaster County Sheriff’s Sgt. Phil Lang says the man was seen swimming in Branched Oak Lake Sunday afternoon shortly before boaters found him floating in the water.

The boaters pulled the man from the water and called 911 around 12:30 p.m. Then bystanders performed CPR on the man for more than 25 minutes until paramedics arrived.

The man was flown to a Lincoln hospital. His name was not immediately released.

These are the things Jeff Foxworthy speaks of in his infamous You Might Be a Redneck jokes, but to each their own.

A Nebraska couple who met while helping organize demolition derbies got married at one this weekend.

James Rosno and Tracy Anderson exchanged vows Friday night at the Stanton County Fair’s demolition derby.

The two fell in love while working together organizing demolition derbies for nearly two decades.

But the couple’s shared passion for automotive carnage made it hard to find a free weekend for their wedding.

So they invited about 1,000 friends to the fair for their wedding.

Tracy Rosno says most of their friends were supportive, but they did endure some good-natured teasing about holding a “redneck wedding.”

(AP) — An effort to recall two Central City school board members has failed.

Merrick County Clerk Marcia Wichman rejected the petitions turned in Tuesday. She says petitioners hadn’t complied with a requirement that each page must state whether those circulating the petitions were volunteers or paid circulators.

The petition effort began in June, two months after the April firing of football coach Darin Garfield. School board meetings since have been filled with people demanding Garfield’s reinstatement.

The petition for recall had cited “lack of responsiveness to concerns raised by public and staff” and “failure to require accountability from administrators.”

(AP) — Police say the boyfriend of an Omaha woman found dead in an open grave has been arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder in connection with her death.

The arrest of Mikael Loyd late Friday came a week after a warrant was issued for his arrest on a misdemeanor assault charge involving 19-year-old Melissa Rodriguez, whose body was found Thursday in a freshly-dug grave in an Omaha cemetery intended for someone else.

Loyd, also 19, allegedly assaulted Rodriguez in June. According to an affidavit, officers who spoke with Rodriguez reported that she had bruises on her arms and legs. Rodriguez said she didn’t want to press charges, but her family voiced concerns that she was in an abusive relationship.

Rodriguez was a student at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

(AP) — An Arizona sheriff’s office found to have racially profiled Latinos is opposing the appointment of an independent monitor to help remedy the issue.

The move disclosed in a court filing Friday could result in a judge ordering the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office to comply with constitutional requirements.

In May, U.S. District Judge Murray Snow found that Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s office singled out Latinos, and that deputies unreasonably prolonged detentions, marking the first finding by a court that the agency engages in racial profiling.

Arpaio’s office is appealing.

Snow delayed issuing orders in the case in June after both parties indicated they wanted time to work toward an agreement.

The joint filing on Friday indicated the judge would have to provide more guidance during an Aug. 30 status conference given the lack of agreement on a proposed consent decree.

(AP) — It’s back-to-school next week on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus.

Thousands of students will be moving into residence halls on Thursday and Friday, although some students at The Village and The Courtyards campus residences begin moving in on Tuesday.

University officials are warning visitors and Lincoln residents to be aware of traffic delays around the campus because of lane closures and traffic from those moving in.

Classes for the semester begin Aug. 26.

Students and parents are urged to visit the UNL Housing move-in website, https://housing.unl.edu/movein, for the latest information.

(AP) — A 31-year-old man who broke a Lincoln police officer’s nose when confronted about shoplifting suspicions has been sentenced to up to four years in prison.

Court records say Jesse Lee Hare pleaded no contest to third-degree assault on an officer plus charges of attempted forgery in the first-degree and theft by deception.

On Friday, he was sentenced to two to four years in prison.

Authorities say the officer was punched after chasing Hare, who was reported as a suspect in a grocery store theft.

Prosecutors also said Hare tried to grab the officer’s gun and shouted during the scuffle that he had the officer’s gun.

(AP) — The CIA is acknowledging in the clearest terms yet the existence of Area 51, the top-secret Cold War test site that has been the subject of conspiracy theories for decades.

The recently declassified CIA documents have set Area 51 buffs abuzz, though there’s no mention of flying saucers, bug-eyed aliens or staged moon landings.

A CIA history released Thursday not only mentions Area 51 and describes some of the activities that took place there — but it places the site on a map.

George Washington University’s National Security Archive senior fellow Jeffrey Richelson says it’s not the first time the government has acknowledged the super secretive installation. Former President Bill Clinton acknowledged the “location near Groom Lake,” and other government references date back to the 1960s.

But those convinced “the truth is out there” are taking the document as a sign of loosening secrecy about the government’s activities in the Nevada desert.

Authorities have arrested two men in connection with a bank robbery in Beatrice.

The robbery occurred Friday morning at a Pinnacle Bank branch when two men slipped a teller a note demanding money.

According to witnesses, no weapons were ever displayed.

The suspects then left the bank, and about a half hour later Gage County deputies spotted the van they believed the suspects were driving on U.S. Highway 77.

Gage County Chief Deputy Sheriff Doug Klaus says deputies from Gage, Saline and Lancaster counties as well as Nebraska State Patrol troopers were involved in stopping the van.

They arrested 31-year-old Lucius L. Turner and 35-year-old Gilbert W. McCabe.

Authorities say charges are pending. It’s not clear whether the men have attorneys.

(AP) — A 20-year-old man has been sentenced to prison for the August 2011 shooting death of a 17-year-old girl who was sitting in a car near her home.

Douglas County District Judge Marlon Polk on Friday sentenced Tracey Wooten Jr. to 34 years in prison after he pleaded no contest to manslaughter in the death of Devina Johnson. He will serve about 17 years in prison before being eligible for release.

Prosecutors had initially charged Wooten with first-degree murder but reduced the charges after having difficulty with witnesses.

A second person in involved in the shooting, 23-year-old Tristian Rodriguez-Shelly, was sentenced on a weapons charge to 16 years in prison.

Prosecutors say Wooten and Rodriguez-Shelly were shooting at a rival gang member but hit Johnson. She died later at a hospital.
