LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln woman has been given 10 to 15 years in prison for pandering of a minor.

Court records say 34-year-old Jacqueline Stebbins was sentenced Monday in Lancaster County District Court in Lincoln. She’d pleaded guilty to one count. Prosecutors dropped two other counts in exchange for Stebbins’ plea.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports that the 17-year-old girl involved told investigators she had sex for money with about three people a day for around a month before the police answered an online ad placed by Stebbins.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska prison officials say an inmate punched and kicked one of their staff members in the face and then fled when other employees arrived to intervene.

Officials say the assault took place Monday in a dining hall at the Tecumseh State Correctional Institution. They say the staff member suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Officials say the injured staffer was punched in the face several times and fell to the group, at which time the inmate kicked the staff member. The inmate, who was not publicly identified, was restrained by other staff members shortly after the assault.

Prison officials say the Nebraska State Patrol is investigating and will provide details to a local prosecutor to see whether charges should be filed.

RANDOLPH, Neb. (AP) — The mayor of a northeast Nebraska city has been charged with intentional child abuse and four counts of child sexual abuse.

Court records say 61-year-old Dwayne Schutt has bonded out of custody. He declined to comment Monday when reached at a Randolph number listed for him in court records. Schutt’s attorney didn’t immediately return a call from The Associated Press.

A court appearance for Schutt is scheduled Wednesday in Hartington.

Schutt has been mayor of Randolph since 2011. The Cedar County city has about 940 residents.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nearly all of the Nebraska prisoners serving life without parole for crimes they committed as juveniles got new sentences in response to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, but for some it made little difference.

Nebraska lawmakers overhauled the state’s sentencing laws in 2013 in response to the high court’s ruling the previous year that banned mandatory life sentences for crimes committed at age 17 or younger.

The law eliminated mandatory life without parole for juveniles and set a new sentencing range of 40 years to life for those who commit first-degree murder or kidnapping.

However, some inmates received new sentences of 80 or 90 years to life, which critics say is effectively a life sentence.

TECUMSEH, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska inmate charged in the strangulation death of his cellmate and now facing the death penalty has fired his attorneys and pleaded guilty to first-degree murder.

Patrick Schroeder entered the plea Friday, telling a judge that he wants to represent himself and drop his legal challenges to the death penalty.

Schroeder is charged in the April death of 22-year-old Terry Berry Jr. Prosecutors said Friday that Schroeder and Berry had been sharing a cell for less than a week when Berry was killed. Schroeder confirmed at the hearing that he had grown intolerant of Berry’s constant talking and strangled him with a towel.

Schroeder is already serving life for the 2006 killing of 75-year-old Pawnee City farmer Kenneth Albers.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The head of the Nebraska Department of Corrections has released a list of tactics to try to keep drugs and other contraband out of the state’s prisons.

Prisons director Scott Frakes on Friday announced the measures, just weeks after a 22-year-old Tecumseh prison inmate died from an illegal drug overdose.

Frakes said the measures include searches by dogs and staff members; detection devices such as metal detectors, X-ray machines and cameras; and video surveillance and drug testing.

Frakes says contraband control efforts have been stepped up in recent weeks, noting that prison visitor was arrested last week after being seen passing drugs to an inmate. In another instance this week, he said, prison officials found a cellphone and drugs in an inmate’s cell.
