YORK, Neb. (AP) — York County, its sheriff and a hospital have been sued by the mother of a man who died in May 2014 after being arrested for driving while under the influence of drugs.

The lawsuit filed by Patricia Jensen says jailers knew her son, 24-year-old Tyler Crespi, had taken drugs but didn’t give him proper medical care. Sheriff Dale Radcliff declined to comment on the lawsuit.

The lawsuit says jailers monitored Crespi in his cell instead of getting him medical treatment. The lawsuit also says Crespi eventually was found unresponsive and taken to the hospital, where he died of an overdose.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 26-year-old man has been imprisoned for his role in the drug deal slaying of another Omaha resident.

Online court records say Absalom Scott was sentenced on Tuesday in Douglas County District Court to 44 to 50 years in prison. He’d pleaded guilty to being an accessory to murder and possession of a firearm by a felon.

Scott and two other men were arrested after 59-year-old Frank Sanders was fatally shot in his home on July 20, 2014. Scott’s charges were reduced after he made a deal with prosecutors to testify against one of his accomplices.

ROGERS, Neb. (AP) — A Colfax County deputy has died in a highway accident involving a deer near Rogers.

Colfax County Attorney Denise Kracl says 36-year-old deputy Dan Coughlin of Fremont was driving eastbound on Highway 30 Tuesday morning when his car struck a deer carcass in the road. The force from striking the deer caused the vehicle to cross the center line and collide with a westbound car.

LifeNet Air Medical Services and Schuyler Fire and Rescue provided medical care, but Coughlin was pronounced dead at the scene. Colfax County Sheriff’s Department and Nebraska State Patrol also assisted at the scene.

Coughlin had just completed his 12-hour shift at the Colfax County Sheriff’s Department before the accident.

The driver of the other car was treated at a hospital and released.

Nebraska State Patrol is investigating.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A former bank manager who admitted embezzling more than $323,000 from a branch in Wahoo has been sentenced to five years’ probation.

Deborah Gilg, the U.S. Attorney for Nebraska, said in written release Tuesday that 65-year-old Margaret Cherovsky was sentenced Monday in a federal courtroom in Omaha.

Prosecutors say FirstBank of Nebraska officials learned in 2014 that money was missing and discovered that Cherovsky had been depositing varying amounts over the previous 20 years into her accounts. Officials say she faked bank records to show that the money was mutilated or otherwise damaged and could no longer be circulated.

Cherovsky pleaded guilty in October after making a deal with prosecutors. Court records say Cherovsky paid back the more than $323,000 she had taken.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Omaha Public Schools Board has reviewed a proposed set of standards for its health and sex education curriculum.

The board discussed the proposed standards for different grade levels Monday. Proposed updates to the district’s human growth and development curriculum include a discussion of gender identity and gender roles starting in the sixth grade, a lesson on sexual orientation and gender identity starting in seventh grade and the inclusion of abortion and emergency contraception in 10th-grade lessons on birth control.

The board is expected to vote on a final plan for the district’s human growth and development curriculum on Jan. 20.

Parents can opt to remove their children from parts or all of the classes teaching the curriculum.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Federal safety officials have begun investigating the explosion and fire that ravaged a restaurant and some apartments in Omaha’s Old Market district.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration began its investigation late Monday. The agency’s Omaha director said if safe procedures had been followed, the explosion would not have occurred.

Authorities think a company working on a fiber optic project may have struck a natural gas line that leaked gas into the area. Several people have reported smelling gas before Saturday afternoon’s blast, which resulted in injuries to two people.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska officials have taken temporary custody of a Lincoln couple’s children after the man’s 2-year-old son nearly drowned in a bathtub.

The boy’s stepmother told authorities she stepped away from the tub for two or three minutes Thursday night and found the boy under the water when she returned. The boy was taken to an Omaha hospital.

Online court records don’t show that any criminal charges have been filed in the case.

A judge ordered the boy and five other children, ages 15 months to 13 years, placed in foster care. Court records show a hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say an armed man has surrendered peacefully after a six-hour standoff with Omaha police.

Officers were sent to a home in the Florence neighborhood around 3:30 p.m. Monday to check a report that someone was being held hostage. The officers found only the man, who was armed with a knife. Several times he threatened to harm himself, but he gave up without incident or apparent injury.

The man was taken to a hospital for mental health evaluation.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A former Nebraska banker convicted of fraud has filed motions for acquittal or a new trial.

Gil Lundstrom was convicted in November of 12 counts related to the 2010 failure of Lincoln-based TierOne Bank while he was CEO. His sentencing is set for Feb. 24.

The acquittal motion filed Friday says prosecutors didn’t prove each count beyond a reasonable doubt. The motion for a new trial says, among other things, that the court let the jury consider improper hearsay evidence and was wrong to instruct jurors that they could find that Lundstrom willfully sought to remain unaware of any wrongdoing.

Prosecutors say Lundstrom and other bank officers hid losses from regulators and shareholders.

AURORA, Neb. (AP) — A Grand Island man accused of stabbing a teenager in an Aurora park has entered a plea in the case.

18-year-old Brayden Milhon pleaded no contest to second-degree assault Thursday.

In exchange for his plea, charges of terroristic threats and of use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony were dropped.

The charges stem from a June 15 stabbing. Court documents say that when police responded to the park, they found Milhon in a vehicle matching the description of the suspect’s and a knife in the trash.

Milhon told an officer that he had stabbed the victim, a minor, with a small knife. The officer later learned that Milhon and the victim had agreed to meet to fight.

Sentencing for Milhon is scheduled for Feb. 26.
