OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Supreme Court has reinstated a man’s drunken driving conviction, reversing last year’s Nebraska Court of Appeals ruling that found his constitutional rights had been violated.

The state’s high court on Friday found that a Wisner police officer was not wrong to stop 27-year-old Adam Woldt to gather information about someone else’s possible criminal activity, then used the stop to arrest Woldt for DUI.

Woldt had argued that because the officer had no suspicion that Woldt had committed a crime when he was stopped, his constitutional right to be free of unreasonable search and seizure had been violated.

But the high court said the officer’s stop of Woldt was not unreasonable and that the officer’s interest in protecting public safety outweighed his interference with Woldt’s individual liberty.

BOYS TOWN, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say an 18-year-old whose body was found in his room at Omaha’s Boys Town died of natural causes.

On Friday a news release from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said an autopsy shows Larry McBryde died of cardiac dysrhythmia, or abnormal heart rhythm, associated with cardiac fibrosis, a condition that can affect the heart valves and muscle.

The body of McBryde, who was from Erwin, North Carolina, was found on the floor of his room the morning of Feb. 22. He was last seen alive around 10:45 the night before.

Boys Town was founded as an Omaha orphanage in 1917 by the Rev. Edward Flanagan and now is situated in western Omaha, serving as a residential center for troubled youth.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Threats and weapons charges filed against a Lincoln woman have been dismissed.

Online court records say a judge approved the prosecution motion Monday in the case against 23-year-old Elyssia Ochoa.

Lincoln police say Ochoa had driven to a friend’s apartment July 10 after her friend reported that she and her husband had been arguing. Police say Ochoa fired one rifle shot toward the man and a neighbor, hitting a sidewalk. She was arrested several days later.

Prosecutors asked for the charges to be dismissed because they couldn’t find the man and the neighbor or other witnesses.

YORK, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a woman who’d worked at a York facility for troubled children has given birth to a child fathered by a teenager being treated there.

Court records say 37-year-old Jamie Bishop, of Seward, is charged with sexual assault of a minor. Court documents say Bishop and the 15-year-old had sex several times in his room or on the grounds at Epworth Village from January to July last year. The child was born in December, and authorities say DNA tests prove the boy’s paternity.

Associated Press attempts to reach Bishop’s attorney Friday were unsuccessful. Bishop’s next court appearance is scheduled for May 11.

Epworth Village CEO Margaret Donovan says Bishop no longer works there.

Police identified him as 44-year-old Lance McIntire.

The collision happened a little before 3 p.m. near 72nd and Cass streets.

The fire cause is being investigated.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A federal appeals court has upheld the dismissal of a lawsuit against Nebraska and various state officials that faulted them for releasing a prisoner who killed an Omaha woman and three others shortly after he got out.

A three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday upheld a district court’s dismissal last year of the lawsuit brought by the husband of 33-year-old Andrea Kruger. The appeals panel agreed that the state is immune because the release of Nikko Jenkins was discretionary and protected by law.

The 33-year-old Kruger was pulled from her car on Aug. 21, 2013, in northwest Omaha and shot four times by Jenkins. Jenkins later pleaded no contest and was convicted of four counts of first-degree murder. His sentencing is pending.
