OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 24-year-old man who abducted and stabbed his ex-girlfriend in Omaha has been sentenced to up to 150 years in prison.

Dylan Doebelin was sentenced Friday in Sarpy County District Court to 72 to 150 years in prison. Under state sentencing guidelines, he must serve 36 years before he’s eligible for parole. Doebelin had originally been charged with kidnapping, attempted murder and stalking. In a deal with prosecutors, he pleaded guilty in April to reduced charges of assault, attempted kidnapping, making terroristic threats and weapons counts.

Doebelin forced his ex-girlfriend last summer from her job at a daycare at knifepoint, and later beat and stabbed her as she tried to escape. Authorities say good Samaritans saved the woman by distracting Doebelin and whisking the injured woman away in another car.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say they have recovered the body of a teenager who went under while swimming in the Missouri River.

Rescuers were called to the scene north of Omaha’s N.P. Dodge Park around 7 p.m. Thursday after someone reported the teen missing in the water.

Omaha authorities say that on Saturday morning, a person in a cabin on the Iowa side of the river spotted a body floating in the water and called 911. Omaha authorities say that because the teen’s body was found on the Iowa side, Council Bluffs authorities have taken over the investigation.

Family members identified the victim as 17-year-old Adrian Boatman of Omaha. They say Boatman was with an aunt and four other children Thursday when he disappeared in the river just north of NP Dodge Park.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Health officials have confirmed a human case of the mosquito-borne West Nile virus in Lancaster County.

Officials say the sickened man likely contracted the virus somewhere else. Earlier this month, a human case of the virus was reported in Scotts Bluff County in western Nebraska.

Experts say most people who are infected have no symptoms or experience only mild, flu-like symptoms. The most vulnerable people are those who are at least 50 or have weakened immune systems.

The virus is transmitted to humans through mosquitoes, which acquire the virus by feeding on infected birds.

Nebraska reported 68 human cases of West Nile virus and two deaths last year. In 2014, eight deaths were blamed on West Nile virus.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — Iowa authorities say two Bellevue, Nebraska, men have been charged in warrants with attempted murder, robbery and assault in the robbery of a Council Bluffs convenience store where a shot was fired at the clerk.

20-year-old Kayvon Berry-Smith and 19-year-old Kyntral Watkins are being held in jail in Nebraska, awaiting extradition to Iowa.

Police say the men entered a Bucky’s Express in Council Bluffs around 12:30 a.m. July 1 and demanded money. Police say at least one of the men had a handgun. After the clerk handed over money from the register, police say, one of the men fired a shot toward the clerk. The clerk was not hit.

It is not known whether the men have attorneys for the Iowa charges.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities are expected to resume their search of the Missouri River Friday for a teenager who went under while swimming on the north end of Omaha

Rescuers were called to the scene north of Omaha’s N.P. Dodge Park around 7 p.m. Thursday. A helicopter, boats and a dive team were deployed without success before darkness.

COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — A 20-year-old Columbus woman has been accused of stabbing her brother while he was sleeping.

Police report arresting Alicia Martinez on Wednesday evening. She’s charged with attempted murder and a related weapons count. Her attorney didn’t immediately return a call Friday from The Associated Press.

Court documents say 33-year-old Rogelio Barrios told officers that when he awoke in his bedroom during the stabbing July 11, he found his sister standing by his bed, holding an 8-inch boning knife. The documents say he was stabbed six times, suffering wounds in his chest, arms and a hand.

Police say Martinez doesn’t live at Barrios’ home.

OAKLAND, Neb. (AP) — A $38.5 million bond measure will be presented to voters as part of a merger plan by two northeast Nebraska school districts.

School boards for the Oakland-Craig and Tekamah-Herman school districts voted Monday to put the measure on the Nov. 8 ballot.

The boards also approved a reorganization plan for state school authorities and authorized an option agreement to buy 80 acres of land for a high school that would be built a half-mile north of Craig.

The merger would take effect Jan. 1.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha man has filed a complaint in U.S. District Court that challenges the constitutionality of a Nebraska law that prohibits some criminals from possessing deadly weapons.

54-year-old Wa’il Muhannad filed the complaint last week. He had a halal meatpacking business in Dodge County until he discovered he couldn’t legally have a knife with a blade longer than 3.5 inches because he’s a felon.

Current state law prevents convicted felons, anyone with an arrest warrant, anyone who has violated a protection order or anyone who has been convicted of a domestic violence misdemeanor within the past seven years from carrying deadly weapons.

Muhannad’s attorney, Travis Penn, asked a federal judge to stop Nebraska from enforcing the statue and to order state Attorney General Doug Peterson to ensure the statute’s effects are eliminated.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — About 250 suicide prevention signs soon will be going up in 12 city and five University of Nebraska-Lincoln parking garages.

The city and a community coalition have been working on the prevention effort since November, after a student died in a fall from a downtown garage. Authorities say several people have jumped or fallen from downtown parking garages over the past three years.

The first signs went up in the Que Place garage downtown and in Lincoln hospital garages. This week city officials approved posting around 50 signs in the top floors of the remaining 12 downtown parking garages. About 200 signs will go into the five university parking garages.

The coalition intends to provide suicide prevention training to university police and dispatchers.
