SEWARD, Neb. (AP) — A 21-year-old has been convicted of misdemeanor motor vehicle homicide in connection to a fatal 2013 rollover crash in Nebraska.

21-year-old Jessica Percival, of Seward, was convicted Tuesday. She will be sentenced on Jan. 26 in Seward County District Court.

Percival was driving in June 2013 near Seward when she lost control of the vehicle and it rolled. Her two passengers were thrown from the car.

Closing arguments were made earlier Tuesday, and jurors deliberated for about two hours.

Gonzales, of Sioux City, Iowa, faces life in prison when he’s sentenced on Feb. 5. Gonzales’ attorney says he’ll probably appeal after the sentencing.

A traffic stop of a rental truck on Interstate 80 near Lincoln led to the seizure of 135 lbs. of marijuana and two arrests.

Just before 2:30 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 9, a trooper stopped an eastbound rental truck for following too close and improper lane change just west of the Northwest 48^th Street Exit in Lincoln.  An NSP Police Service Dog (PSD) indicated to the odor of drugs coming from the cargo area of the truck. A search led to the seizure of 135 lbs. of marijuana. The marijuana was concealed in furniture in the truck.

Contact was also made just off of the NW. 48^th Street exit, with a 2013 Hyundai Elantra, believed to be traveling with the rental truck. Upon approaching the driver, the trooper smelled a strong odor of marijuana and a probable cause search was conducted.  The search led to the seizure of 1.5 grams of cocaine, a small amount of personal use marijuana and paraphernalia. A rental agreement for the truck was also found in the car.

The driver of the rental truck, Janice Badheart Bullshaw, 54, of Huntington Beach, Calif., was lodged in the Lancaster County Corrections on a charge of Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Deliver. The driver of the car, Andy Q. Le, 26, Garden Grove, Calif., was lodged in the Lancaster County Corrections on charges of Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Deliver and Possession of Cocaine.

Curt Frye was appointed to the post in June 2011 after spending a year as interim president, following the departure of his predecessor, Rick Collins, for a job in North Carolina. Frye had retired from Wayne State in June 2009 but returned to serve as interim president. He began working at Wayne State in 1985.

RALSTON, Neb. (AP) — A 23-year-old woman has been convicted of robbing a bank in Ralston earlier this year.

A jury found Shantoria Valentine-Deguenon, of Omaha, guilty on Tuesday of bank robbery. She faces up to 20 years in prison when she is sentenced at a later date.

Authorities say Valentine-Deguenon walked into a Wells Fargo branch in Ralston in July. She is accused of giving a note to two tellers indicating she had a bomb.

The tellers say Valentine-Deguenon yelled that she had a bomb and demanded money from them. She was given money and fled the bank.

Valentine-Deguenon was later arrested in possession of more than $1,200.

BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) — State officials say a southeast Nebraska center for the developmentally disabled may be getting close to the end of monitoring by the U.S. Justice Department.

Jodi Fenner with the state Department of Health and Human Services says a recent report from an independent expert shows that significant improvements have been made in Beatrice.

The Beatrice State Developmental Center has endured a long recovery since hundreds of cases of alleged patient abuse and neglect in 2006 and 2007 were uncovered by federal investigators.

Fenner says she’s hopeful the Justice Department will agree to end formal monitoring of the center sometime in the next few months. The monitoring was part of a 2008 settlement the state agreed to after the abuse was discovered.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Officials for Douglas County have reached a lawsuit settlement with a psychiatrist who testified that he thought a man accused of killing four Omaha residents was “crazy.”

The county Board of Commissioners is expected to decide Tuesday whether to approve paying $125,000 to Dr. Eugene Oliveto. Oliveto contended in a $1 million federal lawsuit filed in March that the county Corrections Department fired him in retaliation for his courtroom candor.

Oliveto testified in February at a hearing to determine whether Nikko Jenkins was competent to stand trial. Oliveto said Jenkins was “crazy,” schizophrenic and “one of the most dangerous people I have ever evaluated.” Jenkins later pleaded guilty to killing four people in August 2013, within weeks of leaving prison.
