29-year-old Angel Wiley and 25-year-old Laquetta Flood-Drummond have been charged with being accessories to a felony in the fatal Aug. 23 shooting of 22-year-old Keith Chambers. Wiley faces two counts, and Flood-Drummond faces one.

Police say they are still looking for the person who shot and killed Chambers. Police say Chambers was shot outside an apartment complex in north Omaha. He died Monday at an Omaha hospital.

Investigators say Wiley drove the shooter away from the scene and that both women lied to detectives about what happened.

The accident occurred a little before 5 p.m. Thursday on Nebraska Highway 370 in Bellevue. Police say an eastbound vehicle turned left and struck the driver’s side of a westbound vehicle on the highway.

Police identified the man driving the westbound vehicle as 88-year-old Raymond Mills. He was pronounced dead at Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. The other driver was identified as 54-year-old Leslie Sharp, who suffered minor injuries.

A third vehicle also was hit. It’s unclear whether the unidentified driver of that vehicle was injured.

Mark Ackerman was given 10 years during a hearing Thursday in U.S. District Court in Lincoln. He’d pleaded guilty to 15 counts of wire fraud after prosecutors agreed not to pursue charges for money laundering.

The Crete resident had been the office manager for Vertical Horizons Contracting. The contractor services the telecom, manufacturing, oil and gas, and utility industries. The lawsuit says Ackerman began working there in October 2007 and was fired Oct. 13 last year.

36-year-old Zachary Francke died Wednesday afternoon after a tree limb fell on a power line and he tried to remove it.

Rescue crews were called to the home just before 2 p.m. Police closed traffic on South 40th Street as Lincoln emergency medical technicians attempted to save Francke.

Federal regulators have reached settlements with two northeast Nebraska livestock feeders accused of violating the Clean Water Act.

The Environmental Protection Agency says in a Thursday news release that both facilities have agreed to pay civil penalties. Bar MK, LLC, has agreed to pay a penalty of $29,000. Cindy Stratman, doing business as Cindy Stratman Livestock, has agreed to pay a penalty of $22,000.

EPA inspectors say both facilities in the West Point area lacked adequate livestock waste controls to prevent discharges of manure and process wastewater. Feedlot-related pollutants discharged into an unnamed tributary of Plum Creek, which discharges into the Elkhorn River.

Both facilities have agreed to provide the EPA with correction plans.

The Omaha World-Herald reports that a judge on Thursday set bail for 52-year-old Craig Wiech at $1 million. Wiech is charged with two counts of attempted assault on an officer or first responder after Omaha police say he was drunk and punched an Omaha officer who responded to his 911 call late Sunday night.

Police say Wiech reported in that call that 48-year-old Carrie Brown, of Omaha, had shot herself. Police say he became aggressive with officers and medics who responded.

A Douglas County prosecutor said Thursday that the circumstances of Brown’s death are still under investigation and asked the judge to set a high bail amount.

The Bellevue Police Department said Thursday that Wiech has been placed on administrative leave.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A man has been given 45 to 70 years in prison for the random shooting of a store employee in an Omaha parking lot.

Douglas County District Court records say 21-year-old Ryan Blaha was sentenced Monday. He’d pleaded no contest to assault and weapons charges after prosecutors dropped related charges.

Police say Blaha used a shotgun to shoot Jared Clawson on Jan. 11 last year and fire at two of Clawson’s co-workers at Nebraska Furniture Mart. Relatives say Clawson has undergone 20 surgeries for his nearly fatal wounds.

In court Monday Blaha spoke of his great shame and remorse.
