Nebraska State Patrol Sgt. Timothy Salmen says a distracted driver lost control Tuesday night on Interstate 80 near Lincoln. He says the driver’s car crossed the median and was broad-sided by a truck.

LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) — Authorities in Wyoming are pressing felony charges against a man and a woman alleging they kept a 7-year-old child in an outdoor cage.

The child’s mother and the man face one count each of child abuse and three counts each of felonious restraint.

The pair were arrested July 24 after Albany County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a tip that the child was caged outside a home on Fox Creek Road.

The man faces a circuit court hearing Thursday. The mother already has been bound over to district court.

Deputies said the child reported living in the cage on and off for three weeks, taking meals there and sleeping there overnight even during rainstorms.

Neither defense attorney was available for comment Tuesday.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha school board members have reviewed a pared-down list that still contains $683 million in capital projects being proposed for bond funding.

The board took no action on Monday night as members listened to consultants discuss the projects. The board has until Aug. 29 to place a bond issue on the November ballot.

Consultants from Jacobs Program Management Co. say the original list of repairs, renovations and new schools totaled a $1.1 billion. School officials have said the large price tag is driven by enrollment increases and building deficiencies that have become apparent since the $254 million bond issue 15 years ago.

Board members say they’re pursuing other funding sources to ease the tax hike that would be needed for the bonds

TECUMSEH, Neb. (AP) — A grand jury will look into the prison death of a Nebraska inmate who attacked a state caseworker in 2011.

A Nebraska Department of Correctional Services news release says a prison worker found 42-year-old Patrick Howley unresponsive in his cell at Tecumseh state prison just before 7 a.m. on July 27. Howley was pronounced dead less than an hour later at Johnson County Hospital in Tecumseh. Officials suspect that Howley killed himself.

Johnson County Attorney Julie Smith on Tuesday told The Associated Press that autopsy results have not yet returned. Under Nebraska law, a grand jury investigates whenever someone dies in custody or while being taken into custody.

Howley was serving a sentence of 116 to 162 years for trying to kill a Lincoln Correctional Center caseworker.
