SIDNEY, Iowa (AP) — A 55-year-old Nebraska man has died in a crash in the southwestern corner of Iowa.

Patrick Tobin, of Tabor, Nebraska, was found dead Friday morning after investigators say his vehicle left the road and crashed in a spillway.

Tobin was pronounced dead around 9:30 a.m. at the scene along a county road in Fremont County.

The Fremont County Sheriff’s office says the crash seems to have happened early Friday, but because of where the vehicle came to rest in water, it was hard to see from the road.

An autopsy will be performed by the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation in Ankeny.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A 32-year-old Lincoln man has pleaded no contest to a drug charge in connection with a Hallam woman’s overdose last spring.

Peter Dudek entered the plea Thursday in Lancaster County District Court. Dudek faces up to 20 years in prison when he’s sentenced in January for attempted delivery of methamphetamine.

In May, Lancaster County Sheriff’s deputies arrested him and 49-year-old Scott Squires on suspicion of delivering the drugs that led to Michelle “Shelly” Kover-Weaver’s May 2 death. Squires is set to enter a plea later this month.

Investigators say they believed Squires and Kover-Weaver paid Dudek $120 for 1.3 grams of meth.

Squires and Kover-Weaver’s 14-year-old son found her unresponsive before she was pronounced dead.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 31-year-old La Vista man has been sentenced to three years’ probation for lying on a security clearance application with the U.S. Air Force Weather Agency.

The U.S. Attorney’s office for Nebraska said this week that Franklin Ansu, of La Vista, was also ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and perform 120 hours of community service while on probation.

Ansu, a naturalized United States citizen, served in the United States Air Force. After his discharge, he obtained a civilian position with the United States Air Force Weather Agency at Offutt Air Force Base.

Prosecutors say Ansu completed a required form for the position which described his background and prior work experience. Prosecutors say his answers omitted any reference to his prior employment with the Ghana Bureau of National Investigations.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police say a 12-year-old has died at a hospital after being found unresponsive at a school swimming pool.

Police were called Thursday afternoon to Nathan Hale Middle School about a possible drowning. When emergency crews arrived, they found student Demariont’e Brown-Elliott unresponsive.

He was taken to Immanuel Medical Center. Police announced Friday he had died.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A 44-year-old Lincoln man has been sent to prison for severely injuring his 5-month-old son.

Raad Al-Masaudi was sentenced on Thursday to 54 to 60 months. The former resident of Iraq had pleaded no contest and was convicted of negligent child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury.

Prosecutors say they don’t know for sure whether Al-Masaudi shook 5-month-old Elijah or threw him into something on Nov. 12, 2013. Al-Masaudi told the boy’s mother that while she was out shopping that the boy’s toddler sister head-butted the infant. The parents took Elijah to a hospital. Police say Al-Masaudi’s account was not consistent with the boy’s multiple brain bleeds.

Deputy County Attorney Jim Rocke says he’s learned the boy likely will suffer lifelong consequences.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 19-year-old man is being treated at a hospital after turning up wet and freezing at a front door in a west Omaha neighborhood.

Bill Orr answered his front door around 2 p.m. Thursday and found the shivering young man asking to use a phone.

Orr told the station that the young man had come from nearby Standing Bear Lake. Orr wrapped the young man in a blanket and then gave him another after he removed his wet clothes when deputies arrived.

Chief Deputy Tom Wheeler of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office says the young man was last seen by his family around 7:30 a.m. It’s unclear how or why he went into the lake. The man’s name hasn’t been released.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lincoln’s bus service will be adding new vehicles that operate on compressed natural gas after receiving a $2 million federal grant.

Mayor Chris Beutler announced the grant on Thursday. The city will purchase three news buses and two trolleys within the next year. It will also buy a bus-driving simulator.

Beutler says the city bought its first five natural gas-powered buses earlier this year and that the fleet will grow to 29 vehicles during the next two years. The new buses will be used in lower-income areas of the city.

The Federal Transit Administration says 24 cities were selected for the grants out of 282 applicants.

NEW YORK (AP) — A federal government source says a surgeon working in West Africa’s Sierra Leone has been diagnosed with Ebola and will be flown to the United States for treatment on Saturday.

The doctor is a citizen of Sierra Leone but also is a permanent U.S. resident, according to the source. The surgeon will be treated at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. The source spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.

The doctor will be the third Ebola patient at the Omaha hospital and the 10th Ebola patient in the U.S.

A spokesman at Nebraska Medical Center would not confirm Thursday if another patient was expected.

The last Ebola patient in the U.S. was released from a New York City hospital on Tuesday.
