WAYNE, Neb. (AP) — A 32-year-old Wayne woman has pleaded not guilty to child abuse and child pornography charges.

The woman entered her pleas Wednesday in Wayne County District Court. Her trial is scheduled to begin April 11.

She was arrested in December. Nebraska State Patrol investigators allege the woman “traded or provided to another visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct with a child.” The child is 3 or 4 years old.

To protect the child’s privacy, The Associated Press is not using the woman’s name.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — University of Nebraska-Lincoln fraternity members accused in the alcohol death of another member have pleaded no contest to lesser offenses.

According to court records, 20-year-old Thomas Trueblood, 23-year Ross Reynolds and 23-year-old Cory Foland each pleaded no contest Wednesday to misdemeanor alcohol procurement charges.

Eighteen-year-old Clayton Real was found dead at the FarmHouse Fraternity house in 2014. Affidavits show he died of acute alcohol intoxication. Affidavits in the case say fraternity members threw a party the night before and provided alcohol to underage attendees, including Real.

The three men were initially charged in 2014 with felony counts of procuring alcohol for a minor resulting in death. They each face up to a year in jail. Their sentencing hearing is set for April 25.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A county judge in Omaha has removed himself from a murder trial involving a former doctor accused of killing four people with ties to an Omaha medical school.

Douglas County District Judge Duane Dougherty removed himself from Anthony Garcia’s murder trial due to health reasons during a Wednesday afternoon court hearing.

Judge Gary Randall will now be assigned to the case.

Garcia is charged with first-degree murder in the 2008 deaths of Thomas Hunter, the 11-year-old son of Creighton University pathologist William Hunter, and Shirlee Sherman, the family’s housekeeper, as well as the May 2013 deaths of Creighton pathologist Roger Brumback and his wife, Mary.

His trial was previously set to begin on April 4 but will likely be delayed.

COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — The Columbus City Council has unanimously approved a measure to cut down on youth’s exposure to tobacco use and secondhand smoke.

The policy, which isn’t backed by potential legal ramifications or fines, places a tobacco-free designation on park areas where children are frequently present.

These spots include playgrounds, picnic shelters, athletic fields and courts, concession stands and spectator viewing areas.

The local health department will provide signs for tobacco-free areas, and the city will rely on citizens’ good conscience and peer pressure to enforce the policy.

Councilman Terry Reardon says that the policy is a way for citizens to be respectful of one another without adding a burden to the local police department.

Health department officials say 18 other Nebraska communities have similar policies.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln man who served on the Southeast Community College Board for more than 17 years when he lived in Pickrell has rejoined the board.

Robert Feit (feyet) was chosen Tuesday to replace Helen Griffin, of Lincoln, who resigned in December. There were two other candidates.

Feit had resigned in May, saying his move from Pickrell to Lincoln would take him out of his college board district.

The college serves 15 counties in southeast Nebraska.

Twenty-year-old Sebastien Hall was sentenced Tuesday. He had pleaded guilty to manslaughter and use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony in the death of 21-year-old Jacob Adams.

Prosecutors say Adams was fighting with Hall and another man in Nebraska City on July 19 when Hall stabbed Adams in the chest and throat.

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — A major east-west highway in western Colorado will be closed until at least Thursday afternoon as crews try to clear a rock slide in a deep and narrow canyon.

The slide happened Monday night on Interstate 70 in Glenwood Canyon about 125 miles east of the Utah border. Highway officials shut down traffic in both directions along 24 miles of highway.

A truck was damaged, but no one was injured.

The highway is closed from Glenwood Springs in the west to Gypsum in the east. The shortest detour adds about 140 miles to the trip, taking traffic north to U.S. 40 and then back south to I-70.

The scenic canyon is so narrow that engineers had to design multiple tunnels, bridges and split-level lanes to accommodate the highway.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha man has been the first to receive a lung transplant at the Nebraska Medical Center in nearly 20 years.

58-year-old Phil Sauvageau, who was seriously ill with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, received the lungs through a six-hour surgery last month.

The Nebraska Medical Center is one of a few U.S. institutions to offer all solid-organ transplants under one roof. It started performed lung transplants in 1995, but stopped in 1998 after the departure of one surgeon and the death of another.

The hospital announced in November that it would revive the program after Dr. Michael Moulton began the movement to do so about four years ago.

Dr. Aleem Siddique, who performed Sauvageau’s surgery and has been at the hospital more than two years, is surgical director of lung transplantation.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A judge has ruled against a Florida man who sued doctors and psychiatrists at the Lincoln Regional Center, where he was held on a misdiagnosis for 19 years.

53-year-old John Montin accused them of failing to properly evaluate him, alleging that it led to improper treatment plans and his continued confinement.

A judge said in his order last week that Montin may have a right against unnecessary and improper confinement, but that it wasn’t the doctors’ decision that kept him at the center, but rather a state judge’s.

Montin’s 2014 lawsuit sought more than $22 million in damages for incorrectly being labeled mentally ill and for unnecessarily being held and subjected to treatments he didn’t need. He also sought $760,000 in lost wages and $10 million in punitive damages.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Police at Mexico City’s international airport have found a load of lollipops with each piece of candy containing a capsule of methamphetamine.

The federal police say the freight shipment originated in the drug-plagued state of Sinaloa and was headed to Omaha, Nebraska.

Police X-rayed a nine-pound (4.1 kilogram) box of candy labelled “Handicrafts and Candy.” Inside, they saw the circular shadows of capsules inside the lollipops.

Police said Monday that experts are still testing the capsules to determine their exact composition and weight.
