George Zimmerman had another run-in with cops earlier this week.

Zimmerman was pulled over for speeding in Forney, Texas on Sunday. He informed the officer that he was armed, and was told to put the weapon in his glove box while the cop ran a background check. After finding nothing outstanding on Zimmerman’s record, the officer let him go with a warning.

This is the second time Zimmerman has been in the news since the verdict in the Trayvon Martin case. Earlier this month, he helped pull a family of four from an overturned SUV not far from his home in Florida.

(AP) — The man who shot and killed six people at his South Florida apartment complex before being gunned down by police called 911 hours before the shooting to say he was being followed.

In the bizarre, 12-minute call, Pedro Vargas asked a dispatcher to run the license plate of a vehicle outside his building. He also said he was the victim of someone doing witchcraft against him.

A recording of the call was released Wednesday by the Hialeah Police Department.

At one point, the dispatcher asked to speak with Vargas’ mother. The elderly woman got on the phone and told the dispatcher her son was acting disturbed and that she wanted to get him an appointment with a psychiatrist.

She declined a dispatcher’s offer to send police to the apartment.

(AP) — Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn will sign legislation making the state the 20th in the U.S. to legalize medical marijuana.

His remarks Thursday will focus on providing relief to the seriously ill, including veterans.

The Chicago Democrat will also tout the legislation’s strict standards, which experts say are among the nation’s toughest. That’s according to a copy of details obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press.

The measure outlines a four-year pilot program that requires patients and caregivers to undergo background checks and sets provisions for state-regulated dispensaries. The proposal says seriously ill patients can be allowed up to 2.5 ounces at a time.

Jim Champion, a veteran with multiple sclerosis who’s advocated for medical cannabis, has been invited to speak at Thursday’s bill signing.

(AP) — A former Southern California teacher who allegedly gave birth to her student’s baby has pleaded guilty to having sex with a minor and will be sentenced to a year in jail.

28-year-old Laura Whitehurst on Wednesday entered guilty pleas to six of 41 charges against her. She had faced up to 29 years in prison if convicted on all counts.

Whitehurst is a former teacher at Citrus Valley High School in Redlands. Prosecutors contend she began a sexual affair with a student last summer when he was 16. She gave birth last month.

Whitehurst also was accused of having sex several years ago with two students, who are now adults.

Michael and Laurie Russell, of Hickman, were sentenced Monday in federal court in Lincoln. Michael Russell was sentenced to 16 months in prison. Laurie Russell was sentenced to six months. The Russells were also ordered to pay restitution of more than $311,000 to the IRS.

Federal prosecutor say the Russells lived a comfortable lifestyle and had the financial ability to pay the taxes, but chose not to.

(AP) — A 19-year-old Australian is aiming for the Guinness World Record for the youngest person to fly solo around the world.

If he’s successful, Ryan Campbell will unseat Californian Jack Wiegand, who set the record in June when he completed a global flight at age 21.

Campbell left Wollongong, Australia, on June 30. He aims to finish his route on Sept. 7. He is spending much of this week in Oshkosh, Wis., at AirVenture, one of the nation’s largest air shows.

Campbell says he wanted to fly from the time he was 6. He flew solo at 15, got his pilot’s license at 17 and earned his commercial pilot’s license at 18.

He says he hopes his success inspires more young people to consider careers in aviation.

A Lincoln man faces up to 50 years in prison if he is convicted of sexually assaulting his underage daughter.

The man is charged with first-degree sexual assault of a child and remains in the Lancaster County Jail in lieu of $250,000 bail.

Police say the 15-year-old girl reported that her father had raped her about 50 times over the past four years, starting when she was 11. Police say the man’s wife caught him assaulting their daughter in April and reported him to authorities.

The Associated Press is not naming the man to protect the identity of his daughter.

(AP) — Hall County Attorney Mark Young says a newly bulked up police department has meant more work for his department.

Young has asked the Hall County Board of Supervisors for the ability to hire a part-time attorney to help with that growing caseload — about 430 cases per attorney. He says he also needs help because of high turnover his office due to medical leaves, a retirement and attorneys moving to take jobs closer to extended family.

He says the majority of the increased caseloads come from the Grand Island Police Department hiring five new officers last year.

(AP) — Online brokerage TD Ameritrade will show off its new $135 million headquarters building in Omaha on Wednesday.

Ameritrade CEO Fred Tomczyk, Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman and Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert all plan to attend a grand opening celebration Wednesday morning.

More than 2,000 Ameritrade workers moved into the 12-story tower in west Omaha earlier this year. Previously, they were spread among four different Omaha locations.

The building is designed to meet stringent standards for energy efficiency. So it is expected to use half as much energy as buildings of similar size and age.

The building features a fitness center, cafeteria, training classrooms, green space and a recreation area with video games and foosball tables for employees.

Council Bluffs police say the body was that of 39-year-old Andrew T. Edwards. Several boaters on the river near casinos on the Iowa side of the Missouri River called authorities Saturday to report a body in the river.
