LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Army National Guard has sent a helicopter and crew to help fight wildfires in Colorado.

Nebraska Guard officials say they deployed a UH-60 Black Hawk and four-member crew from the 1-376th Aviation Battalion. They’ve been sent to the Fort Collins, Colo., area.

The helicopter is equipped with a 660-gallon bucket that can scoop water from lakes and other water bodies so it can be spread on or ahead of flames.

The helicopter left Lincoln on Tuesday and could remain in Colorado for more than a couple of weeks.

The Nebraska Guard says the help was requested through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact, a multistate agreement that eases the way for emergency aid from state to state.

WAHOO, Neb. (AP) — A murder charge in a Nebraska cold case has been dropped for now.

Local media reports that Saunders County Attorney Scott Tingelhoff filed a motion on Monday to dismiss the charge against Jeffrey Glazebrook.

Glazebrook was convicted in 2009 for the 1977 murder of 97-year-old Sadie May McReynolds, of Ashland. But the Nebraska Supreme Court reversed the conviction last year, saying among other things that the trial judge shouldn’t have allowed evidence of Glazebrook’s previous crimes.

Tingelhoff says he dropped the murder charge to ensure that Glazebrook wouldn’t evade prosecution because of any time delay. The murder charge will be refiled after Glazebrook is tried in August on charges that he threatened a witness at his 2009 trial.
