OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Eastern Nebraska authorities have arrested four people following a traffic stop they say led to the discovery about three pounds of methamphetamine in a car on Interstate 80.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Department says a car carrying the four was stopped around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday on the interstate in south Omaha.

The department says a deputy became suspicious after speaking with vehicle’s occupants. Officials say a search yielded three pounds of meth in a rear storage compartment.

Four people from Illinois were arrested on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and failure to affix a drug tax stamp.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police say a teen playing with a gun in a north Omaha neighborhood has accidentally shot and killed himself.

Omaha police say the accident happened around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday. Police say they do not suspect foul play in the teen’s death.

The teen’s identity has not yet been released.

Police have not released any other details of the shooting. Investigators were interviewing witnesses on Wednesday afternoon.

The investigation into the death continues.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Officers say some people playing “Pokemon Go” accidentally interfered with a search for a mysterious man who’d fled from a Lincoln convenience store where a clerk was killed last week.

The incident occurred around 2 a.m. Wednesday. Police say a store security guard noticed the man, who was dressed in camouflage clothing, wearing a hood, gloves, sunglasses and a bandanna over his face. The guard asked the man to remove his bandanna, but he ran off instead.

Sgt. Randy Clark said officers reported later than a police dog taken to the scene to track the man got distracted by the scents of some people engrossed in the popular new smartphone game nearby.

Police say they don’t think the man sought is connected to the slaying of store employee Robert Hanna.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The City Council has rejected a proposal that would have let the council block demolition of historically significant Omaha buildings.

The proposed ordinance rejected Tuesday would have required a new review process before a demolition permit would have been issued for buildings identified as potentially historic.

The proposal was designed to preserve Omaha’s architectural history. Council member Chris Jerram said his proposal arose from residents concerns about recent demolitions of older houses in their neighborhoods.

Opponents said the proposal would have discouraged development by creating more red tape.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A 29-year-old Lincoln man has been sentenced to three years in federal prison for possession of child pornography.

U.S. Attorney Deborah Gilg says Alex Paul Garden was sentenced Tuesday in Lincoln’ federal court. Upon his release, Garden will serve five years of supervised release and must register as a sex offender.

Authorities say a tip led them to Garden, and a search of his computer turned up images of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Seven years after a deadly shooting at an Omaha convenience store, the man convicted in the death has been sentenced to life in prison.

25-year-old Akeem Jones was sentenced Tuesday in Douglas County District Court.

A jury found Jones guilty in May of first-degree murder for the 2009 shooting death of 22-year-old Gary Holmes. The shooting also left Holmes’ cousin, 22-year-old Rodney Smith, paralyzed.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A federal judge has rejected the state’s attempt to block a $1 million settlement between Lancaster County and a man paralyzed in a county jail cell.

The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services had sought more than half that settlement to recoup Medicaid payments for Arok Atem’s medical bills.

Atem was arrested in April 2011 after police suspected he was drunk at a hospital. He was later found in his cell with spinal cord fractures. He is now a quadriplegic.

In rejecting the state health agency’s attempt to recoup more than $500,000, Senior U.S. District Judge Richard Kopf said Monday that the settlement expressly excluded medical expenses.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Two Omaha men who were formerly rival gang members have joined together to show their commitment against violence at a local Black Lives Matter protest.

At the protest Friday, Travis Bennett, a former Bloods gang member, gripped a red bandanna. Markail Channel, a former Crips gang member, held the blue bandanna. The men tied the garments together as a sign of harmony.

Multiple photos of the men emerged on social media, two of which have been liked or shared tens of thousands of times. Omaha Police Lt. Ken Kanger of the department’s gang unit also took a photo with the men.

Bennett and Channel were on the brink of fighting five years ago when their Millard South High School principal made them resolve their conflict through dialogue. The men now call themselves brothers.

NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — A 23-year-old Norfolk man has been charged with two counts of vehicular homicide for a collision last month on U.S. Highway 81 in northeast Nebraska’s Madison County.

Online court records say Brandon Plante also is charged with driving under the influence, second offense, and driving while his license was suspended. Online court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could be contacted to comment on Plante’s behalf.

Plante’s arraignment is set for July 21.

Authorities say Plante was driving north in a southbound highway lane on June 26 when he struck an oncoming vehicle driven by 32-year-old Tar Eh. Eh and a passenger in the vehicle, 32-year-old Yeh Htoo, were fatally injured. Both lived in Norfolk.

NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — A northeast Nebraska woman has been arrested on suspicion of kidnapping after police say she took her 2-day-old son from a hospital without authorization.

An emergency alert went out around 10 p.m. Sunday after the boy was taken from Faith Regional Medical Center in Norfolk.

The boy was in state custody because his 34-year-old mother tested positive for methamphetamines and marijuana when he was born.

Security video showed the boy’s father leaving with a diaper bag and putting it in a Pontiac minivan before getting into his car. The woman then left with the baby and got in the minivan.

Police found the woman with the baby Monday morning after she contacted a family member in Pierce.

The boy’s father was interviewed by police but wasn’t arrested Monday morning.
