SEWARD, Neb. (AP) — State investigators say a southeastern Nebraska sheriff’s deputy has been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault.

The Nebraska State Patrol says in a news release that investigators arrested 30-year-old Seward County Deputy Nicholas Bridgmon, of Pleasant Dale, in connection with a sexual assault that occurred in 2007 outside Cook. The patrol says Bridgmon faces a charge of first-degree sexual assault following an investigation that began in November.

The patrol also says it has information that there may be additional victims, and that the investigation is ongoing.

No other details about the alleged assault were given.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha man has pleaded guilty to producing child pornography for filming himself raping a 13-year-old child.

Federal prosecutors for Nebraska say in a news release that 38-year-old Steven Carlson entered the plea Friday to one count of production of child pornography. He faces decades in prison when he’s sentenced on May 10.

Prosecutors say as part of the plea, Carlson admitted that in May 2016, he filmed himself forcibly abusing a 13-year-old nonverbal child. Officials say a search warrant executed on Carlson’s home resulted in the discovery of hundreds of images of child pornography involving minors as young as infants.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Officials in eastern Nebraska say a child and a Douglas County sheriff’s deputy have died from complications of the flu.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office says 51-year-old Deputy Dave Wintle died Thursday morning at an Omaha hospital. Officials say the 29-year veteran of the department experienced trouble breathing Thursday before he was taken to the hospital.

Also, the Douglas County Health Department said Thursday that it has confirmed the county’s first pediatric death of this flu season. The department did not say when the child died or where in the county the child lived.

The department says in its most recent flu report that Douglas County has seen 2,851 confirmed flu cases this season.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A second man accused of a fatal Lincoln beating over a drug debt has been imprisoned.

Lancaster County District Court records say 37-year-old Dominic Aguirre was sentenced Wednesday to 60 to 80 years in prison and credited for 397 days already served in custody. He’d pleaded guilty last month to felony assault and attempted kidnapping. Prosecutors dismissed charges of second-degree murder and other crimes in return for Aguirre’s pleas.

Prosecutors say Aguirre and Paul Clark killed 35-year-old Phillip Madlock on June 28 last year. Clark pleaded no contest to assault and weapons charges and also was given 60 to 80 years in prison.

Court records say informants told police Madlock’s body was burned in a barrel over three days on a farm near Ashland.

WISNER, Neb. (AP) — A driver will be sentenced in April for his role in a three-vehicle accident in northeast Nebraska.

Cuming County Court records say 20-year-old Alexander Ausdemore pleaded no contest Wednesday to misdemeanor vehicular homicide. His sentencing is set for April 10.

The accident occurred the morning of Sept. 11 last year on U.S. Highway 275 west of Wisner. The Cuming County Sheriff’s Office says a rear-end collision occurred, followed by ricochet collision as drivers slowed for a semitrailer that was turning into a farm drive. Authorities say Ausdemore apparently did not see the turning truck and ran into the back of another vehicle.

Authorities say 28-year-old Rachael Kucera was among those injured, and she died later at a West Point hospital. She lived in Stanton.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — An off-duty police officer is being crediting with helping get a man out of his burning home in Lincoln.

Lincoln police say officer Taylor Murphy was in civilian clothes and driving to work Monday afternoon when a girl flagged her down about seven blocks southwest of the state Capitol. The girl said there was a fire at her home nearby and that she couldn’t get another resident to flee to safety.

Police say Murphy went inside the smoke-filled half of a two-story duplex, found the 40-year-old man and, with the help of an on-duty officer who arrived, got the man out.

Murphy reported some symptoms of smoke inhalation but declined treatment and later completed her shift. No other injuries were reported.

Investigators say the fire was caused by items left on a hot stove.

SIBLEY, Iowa (AP) — A former football coach and teacher already serving Nebraska prison time for child sex offenses has pleaded guilty in an Iowa case.

Osceola County District Court records show 40-year-old Kyle Ewinger entered the plea Monday to sexual abuse and was sentenced to 10 years. The records say the former Sibley-Ocheyedan coach was fired after the district superintendent found him sleeping in his classroom next to a 10-year-old in October 2015.

Last April Ewinger was sentenced to 55 to 85 years in a Nebraska prison after an Omaha jury found him guilty of sexual assault of a child. Prosecutors say he assaulted the 9-year-old son of a woman he was dating in 2012 and 2013.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A recently-disbarred Omaha lawyer who helped defend a former doctor convicted of killing four people has been sentenced to jail in a child abuse case.

The Omaha World-Herald reports that 44-year-old Jeremy Jorgenson was sentenced Tuesday to more than 18 months. The sentence came as a surprise, as Jorgenson had pleaded no contest last year in a deal with prosecutors to four misdemeanor counts for which he expected to get probation. However, judges aren’t bound by recommendations of probation. Judge Greg Schatz said Friday that probation wouldn’t be appropriate, noting that Jorgenson’s 7-year-old stepson had suffered a broken arm when Jorgenson picked the boy up by his collar and dropped him last February.

On Friday, Jorgenson was disbarred for a series of ethical violations.

Jorgenson had been part of the defense team for Anthony Garcia, who is on death row for the revenge killings of four Omaha residents tied to his 2001 firing from a Creighton University medical school program.

UNADILLA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have released the name of a man who died in southeast Nebraska’s Otoe County after climbing into a grain bin to clear a jammed auger.

The Otoe County Sheriff’s Office has identified him as 69-year-old Dennis Meyer, who lived in rural Nebraska City.

Rescue workers and medics were called to a farm northeast of Unadilla around 2:45 p.m. Saturday. The sheriff’s office says rescue workers cut into the bin to reach the man later identified as Meyer, but they were too late. He was declared dead at the site.

Autopsy results are pending.
