LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A former Nebraska school superintendent has pleaded guilty to stealing $314,000 from a federal program.

Former Santee Community Schools superintendent Paul Sellon entered his plea on Tuesday. He was accused of stealing the funds between 2010 and 2013, while he worked for the Santee-based school district on the Santee Sioux Reservation.

According to a plea agreement, Sellon contracted with Mastery Learning and Achievement, paying $683,000 in funds from an annual school improvement grant. As a pre-condition to being hired in Santee, authorities say Sellon told the company it needed to pay him some of the grant money it received for its service.

Company officials told investigators they believed the company wouldn’t get the contract unless they paid Sellon as he directed.

Sellon’s sentencing is scheduled for February.

DAKOTA CITY, Neb. (AP) — A former city clerk in northwest Iowa has been sentenced in a Nebraska court to probation for trying to set up a sexual encounter with someone he thought was a teenage boy.

61-year-old Douglas Furlich, of Lawton, Iowa, was sentenced Wednesday to three years of intense supervised release.

Furlich pleaded no contest in September to attempted sexual assault by use of an electronic device.

The Nebraska State Patrol says Furlich posted an ad online “looking for a younger guy.” Officials say an undercover officer responded, pretending to be a 15-year-old boy. Police say Furlich went in June to meet the boy at a South Sioux City, Nebraska, where he was arrested. He was fired by the Lawton City Council after the arrest.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Republican Don Bacon has won Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District seat and defeated incumbent Democrat Brad Ashford.

Ashford held a news conference Wednesday morning to reflect on what he accomplished in his one term in the U.S. House, such as moving closer to building a new veterans’ hospital in Omaha and securing funding for an infectious disease training program at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

Ashford says serving in Congress represented a dream come true because he had the opportunity to teach Washington about Nebraska values.
