DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Iowa charges of murder, robbery and theft filed against a 16-year-old Nebraska boy have been dismissed.

The Omaha boy had been charged in Pottawattamie County District Court in connection with the January death of a Council Bluffs man, 38-year-old Adam Angeroth.

Iowa court records say prosecutors sought dismissal of the adult charges because it was determined the crimes alleged occurred when the boy was only 15. The prosecutors said in their motion to dismiss that juveniles charged with forcible felonies must be at least 16 when the crimes occurred for the charges to be directly filed under the jurisdiction of a district court. Consequently, the prosecutors said, the offenses should be charged in juvenile court.

The boy remains in custody, awaiting action in juvenile court. The Associated Press generally doesn’t name juveniles accused of crimes.

A man from Harlan and one from Omaha also have been charged with Angeroth’s death.

Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol arrested an Omaha man for several charges following a pursuit Saturday evening, March 9.

At approximately 8:00 p.m., a trooper observed a Chevy Trailblazer traveling at 102 miles per hour on eastbound Interstate 80 at mile marker 450 near 60^th street in Omaha. The trooper attempted a traffic stop, but the driver fled and continued traveling at more than 80 miles per hour. After exiting I-80 southbound on Highway 75, the suspect vehicle drove through neighborhoods before eventually coming to a stop at a residence at 4731 S. 16^th street in Omaha.

The driver exited the vehicle and did not follow orders given by the trooper. A five-year-old juvenile exited the vehicle as well. The trooper then attempted to place the driver under arrest, but the driver again resisted. After a brief physical encounter the trooper was able to place the suspect in custody as other troopers and Omaha Police officers arrived on scene to assist.

The driver, David Chico, 31, of Omaha, was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, felony flight to avoid arrest, willful reckless driving, transporting a child while intoxicated, resisting arrest, obstructing a peace officer, open alcohol container, and speeding at greater than 36 miles per hour over the speed limit. The pursuit lasted approximately four minutes.

Chico was lodged in Douglas County Jail. The child was left with family.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Officials say ice jams could be blasted with dynamite to prevent river flooding in eastern Nebraska.

The Papio-Missouri River Natural Resources District in Omaha has arranged for a private contractor whose explosives experts would drop dynamite on jams from a helicopter. The deployment could occur as soon as Tuesday, if needed.

District general manager John Winkler says the rain and wind in the forecast will play a factor in whether an explosives crew can be flown over the rivers.

Winkler says people living along the rivers’ edges should elevate their possessions and move valuable boats and vehicles out of harm’s way.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha has been sentenced to 17 years in prison for distributing child pornography, including images of prepubescent children engaged in sex acts.

Federal prosecutors say 65-year-old Gregory Bartunek was sentenced Friday in Omaha’s federal court after a jury convicted him of child pornography counts. After his release, Barunek must serve a 15-year term of supervised release and must register as a sex offender.

Prosecutors say Bartunek’s home was searched in May 2016 following tips that child pornography images were being distributed from a computer there to an online chat service. In addition to computers that held some 40 child porn videos, agents found life-sized infant and toddler dolls clothed in children’s underwear. Police say more children’s underwear was found mingled among Bartunek’s underwear in his dresser.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha man has been sentenced to nearly five years in federal prison for robbing a Plattsmouth bank in 2012.

Federal prosecutors for Nebraska say 28-year-old Joseph Lanckriet was sentenced Thursday to 56 months in prison. He was also ordered to pay more than $27,000 in restitution.

Prosecutors say that on Dec. 7, 2012, Lanckriet and another man robbed the SAC Federal Credit Union in Plattsmouth. Lanckriet and co-defendant Thomas Woodard were arrested four years later in Sioux City, Iowa. The pair is suspected of committing a robbery in that city in 2014.

Woodard was sentenced in February to more than eight years for the crime. Investigators say they brandished a pellet gun in the robbery and later tied an employee’s hands behind her back and threatened to hurt her if she called police.
