AURORA, Colo. (AP) — Police in the Denver suburb of Aurora are searching for a 6-year-old boy who is believed to have wandered away from his home on New Year’s Eve.

The FBI and other law enforcement agencies were helping search for David Puckett on Monday by going door-to-door within 2.5 miles of his home. Bloodhounds are also searching for him.

Police say foul play isn’t suspected, but they’ve asked for help to find David as quickly as possible partly because of coming cold weather.

His mother says he was only wearing a light jacket. On Sunday night, she issued a tearful appeal for people to help find him.

Previous searches aided by a bloodhound and a helicopter didn’t turn up any clues.

Police say David has wandered off before.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — A Nebraska man accused of threatening to stab someone with a syringe that he said held HIV-tainted blood has pleaded guilty to a reduced Iowa robbery charge.

Court records say 35-year-old Jeshua Divis, who lives in Omaha, pleaded guilty Thursday in a Council Bluffs courtroom and was sentenced to time served.

Divis had been convicted of robbery in March 2015. His conviction was overturned and he was granted a new trial after he challenged his conviction. He said some of the evidence against him should not have been allowed at trial and that his attorneys were ineffective.

Prosecutors say Divis told a woman at the Ameristar Casino in Council Bluffs in November 2014 that he’d inject her with the tainted blood if she didn’t hand over her money.

NIOBRARA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a Crofton man has been fatally injured in a Knox County crash.

The accident occurred early Monday morning on Nebraska Highway 12. The Nebraska State Patrol says 55-year-old Kevin Jones was headed east when he lost control of his vehicle. It rolled down an embankment and landed on its top.

The patrol says Jones was pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital in Yankton, South Dakota.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Officials say a specialized water tank and the 8.1 million gallons of water it will hold will help keep some University of Nebraska-Lincoln buildings cooler during peak demand.

The $11.9 million tank is being built north of the landscape services building on the university’s City Campus. It’s expected to go online in spring 2018.

Officials say it will supply chilled water for six to eight hours during the hottest parts of each day and replenish itself overnight and on weekends, when energy demands are lower. Engineers say the goal is to cut down energy bills by an expected $850,000 to $900,000 annually.

The tank will function like a battery, holding the water for use in offsetting electricity costs during peak usage times.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The demolition of three century-old buildings in Lincoln has been delayed by a few months to avoid the impacts of frigid weather.

Contractors had expected to tear down the buildings on O Street by the end of the year to make way for a $65 million hotel and housing project. Shane Dostal, a senior engineering specialist for the city, says officials have decided the buildings can be taken down in the spring, closer to the start of construction.

Dostal said developers determined there was no sense in leveling the buildings until the frost on the ground was gone.

The buildings used to house a popular music club, a tattoo shop, and bars. The new project, which will include two hotels and upscale housing, is expected to be Lincoln’s third tallest building.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln man has been accused of beating a woman and leaving a print of his boot on her face.

42-year-old Curtis L. Bush was arrested early Friday and charged with third-degree domestic assault. Additional records were not available. A public telephone number for Curtis was not in service Saturday.

Lincoln police say they responded to a report after 1 a.m. Friday from a woman who says she fled Bush’s nearby apartment following an assault. The woman claims Bush punched her several times and pinned her to the floor. Bush is accused of stepping on the woman with a boot.

The newspaper reports an officer at the scene said the woman had marks on her face that were consistent with the report.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities in Omaha say a dozen cattle roamed an Interstate after the semitractor-trailer that was transporting them turned over.

The cargo of cattle went free Thursday night near a lane that connects two major highways in central Omaha. The incident caused traffic delays that weren’t completely cleared up until early Friday.

The driver of the semi tractor-trailer, which was carrying more than 30 cows and bulls, says his vehicle tipped over after he tried to avoid another car that swerved. While some cattle never left the trailer, others took to the streets and halted traffic.

The Nebraska State Patrol and other officials helped block roadways to corral the cattle. A patrol sergeant says four of the animals were killed for public safety concerns. Five others were killed in the crash.

NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have released the name of a man killed in the crash of a pickup he was driving in Norfolk.

Norfolk police identified the man as 47-year-old Jason Hoffman, who lived in the northeast Nebraska city.

The accident occurred a little before 6:20 p.m. Wednesday. Police say the pickup ran off the roadway and onto a terrace, where it struck a tree. Police say Hoffman died later at a Norfolk hospital. An autopsy has been ordered.
