PAPILLION, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a suburban Omaha student is suspected of posting tweets that threatened a bombing and other violence at a high school.

Papillion-La Vista district spokeswoman Annette Eyman (EYE’-muhn) says the student has been arrested and the threats that were tweeted on Sunday have been discounted as unsubstantiated. Papillion-La Vista South High School was searched, but no bombs were found. On Monday district officials alerted parents and students about the threats and extra officers were present.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The University of Nebraska at Omaha is being recognized for its efforts to help the community.

The university has received the Presidential Award for Economic Opportunity from the Corporation for National and Community Service.

UNO Chancellor John Christensen says he’s proud of the award, but he knows that his university needs Omaha to be successful.

UNO is being recognized based on the 2012-2013 school year when more than 380,000 hours of service were performed in Omaha and Nebraska.

Some special programs were singled out for praise, including one that teams UNO students with middle schoolers to grow plants in water instead of soil.

In another program, UNO students teach computer skills to inmates in the Douglas County jail.

YORK, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska judge has set a resentencing date for an inmate who killed his 12-year-old sister when he was 14.

The judge on Monday set Sydney Thieszen’s resentencing date on March 12. Thieszen was convicted in 1988 of killing his sister, Sacha Thieszen, at their home near Henderson. Prosecutors said Thieszen killed his sister because he was afraid she would tell police he was running away from home.

The judge in March ruled that Thieszen was entitled to the resentencing in accordance with a 2012 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that mandatory life-without-parole sentences for juvenile killers are unconstitutional.

Thieszen’s attorney says he will call two medical professionals to testify about his client’s mental health. The attorney says he might also call on Thieszen to testify.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A former manager of a fast-food restaurant has been accused of lying about a robbery.

34-year-old Katie Spore was charged Monday with felony theft by deception of more than $1,500. Court records do not list an attorney.

Authorities say Spore, a former manager at Pita Pit, claimed she was robbed by a man while she carried a deposit bag from the store on Dec. 1. Spore is accused of telling police the man took the deposit bag, her engagement and wedding rings, a necklace and a wallet.

Authorities say Spore wrote herself a check from the restaurant’s account for $3,600 before the alleged robbery. She is accused of cashing it to pay for personal expenses.

Spore’s bail was set at $40,000 on Monday.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln woman has been given jail time on meth and child abuse charges.

Lancaster County District Judge Andrew Jacobsen sentenced 23-year-old Clara De la Cruz on Monday to 210 days in jail. She is eligible for release after 113 days.

De la Cruz called 911 in June 2013 after her 1-year-old daughter was found unresponsive in an apartment bathtub. The child was hospitalized and survived.

Authorities say drug pipes and marijuana was found in the apartment. State officials removed the child and her 3-year-old sister from the home.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — E-cigarette technology is taking off and federal officials say the race to innovate could make creating standards the devices more difficult in the future.

The popular contraptions that heat a liquid to create vapor rather than burning tobacco have changed dramatically from those first introduced just a few years ago.

Instead of a small battery and plastic cartridge containing nicotine-soaked cotton, some now have computer chips to regulate puffs and temperature, track usage and talk to other electronic devices.

A fast-growing market and the possibility that they could be safer than regular cigarettes have some in the industry worried that regulation that’s too heavy-handed could stifle innovation and their businesses.

The Food and Drug Administration is currently weighing regulation for the devices but it’s unclear how quickly that will proceed.

The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office said the woman was hospitalized in Council Bluffs. The accident was reported Saturday evening at the Jack Link’s Beef Jerky facility in Underwood.

BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) — Backed by a Nebraska Supreme Court ruling, officials say Beatrice will vigorously pursue $25,000 in fines levied against the owner of a parcel where junked vehicles were parked.

The court on Friday backed an earlier ruling by the Nebraska Appeals Court that the city didn’t violate the rights of the property owner. The landowner, Daniel Meints, had said a city officer needed a warrant to come onto Meints’ property to gather information about 10 junk vehicles that were parked there in 2011.

The Appeals Court said the city didn’t violate Meints’ rights because the vehicles were seen in an open field, so the officer had probable cause to investigate violations of the city’s code concerning junk vehicles.
