GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — City officials have completed their review of the drowning of a 5-year-old girl at a Grand Island water park and say city personnel followed proper procedures.

City Attorney Bob Sivick said Wednesday that proper safety policies and procedures were in place and that the city workers followed the procedures and their training.

Hall County Attorney Jack Zitterkopf said last week that Nubari Koffree’s drowning was an accident. Nubari was with her mother at the Island Oasis Water Park on July 18 and was found in the wave pool area.

Officials have said her drowning was the first to occur in the 21 years the water park has been open.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 45-year-old man has been given two years of probation for the hit-and-run crash death of a pedestrian in Omaha.

Mark Fleming was sentenced Wednesday in Douglas County District Court. He’d pleaded no contest and was found guilty of misdemeanor vehicular homicide.

Police say 76-year-old Roy Yeck was hit as he was trying to cross North 30th Street shortly after 1 a.m. on Jan. 30.

Fleming turned himself in to police later that day. Fleming apologized to Yeck’s family during Wednesday’s sentencing hearing.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — A 25-year-old Council Bluffs man has been sentenced to five years in federal prison for crossing state lines to have sex with a minor.

Tyler L. Gunderson was sentenced Monday. He had pleaded guilty to interstate travel with the intent to engage in a sexual act with a juvenile.

According to prosecutors, Gunderson travelled to Omaha, Nebraska, to pick up a juvenile that he had met there and drove the victim to several locations in Council Bluffs to have sexual intercourse last year.

Gunderson has also been ordered to serve ten years of supervised release once he is released from prison.

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb. (AP) — A man paroled after serving 41 years for murder has been sentenced to five years for sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl in southeast Nebraska.

Seventy-year-old Laddie Dittrich was sentenced Tuesday in Otoe County District Court. He’d been convicted of groping the girl at a rural home on Nov. 23, 2014.

Dittrich was one of three men convicted in 1973 of the slaying of an Omaha trucking company official.

In April 2013 the Nebraska Pardons Board commuted Dittrich’s sentence of life in prison without parole to 80 years to life, which allowed Dittrich to seek parole because he’d already served more than half of the 80-year minimum.

His parole has been revoked.

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb. (AP) — A 17-year-old girl is accused of running her pickup over a woman in the Nebraska City library parking lot.

On Tuesday Otoe County Attorney David Partsch charged the girl with assault, use of a weapon and leaving the scene of an injury accident. The Associated Press generally doesn’t name juveniles accused of crimes.

Partsch says the girl and 22-year-old Amber Shipley got into an altercation outside the Morton-James Public Library about 5:30 p.m. Monday. The girl left to take a friend to work and then returned a parking lot adjacent to the library.

Partsch says the girl drove toward Shipley and ran her over. Shipley is being treated at a Lincoln hospital.

The girl’s father took her to the police station Monday night to surrender.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Santee Sioux Tribe of Nebraska has received nearly $450,000 in federal grant funding to address domestic violence against Native American women.

The Department of Justice announced the award Wednesday while unveiling more than $97 million in grant funding for American Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages.

The Justice Department says American Indians and Alaska Natives experience disproportionate rates of violence and often struggle to access services.

Deborah Gilg, the U.S. attorney for Nebraska, says the grant will help the Santee Sioux continue their commitment to alleviating the high rates of domestic violence.

WHITNEY, Neb. (AP) — Firefighters have contained wildfire that burned nearly 1,800 acres of grassland in northwest Nebraska Tuesday.

The Nebraska Emergency Management Agency says five volunteer fire departments worked with firefighters from the U.S. Forest Service and two air tankers to deal with the fire in Dawes County.

Wind spread the fire through tall grass east of the village of Whitney quickly. It was contained by 6 p.m.

Crawford Fire Chief Brian Prosser, who coordinated the response, says the fire was likely caused by a mechanical problem on a hay baler.

Nebraska declared an emergency for the area to free up state disaster-relief money.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Metered parking in downtown Omaha is about to cost more — in some cases, double the current rate.

Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert said in a news conference Wednesday that the new rates and extended meter hours will go into effect Oct. 13.

Right now, motorists have to feed meters between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays. That changes to 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. next month. Parking on weekends and holidays will still be free.

The new rates will rise from 25 cents to 50 cents an hour at 2-, 3- and 4-hour meters. Some 10-hour meters currently 25 cents an hour will rise to 50 cents an hour.

Officials say the new rates will bring in another $500,000 a year.
