(AP) — A village board in southeast Nebraska is considering an ordinance that would restrict where convicted sex offenders may live and would fine landlords who rent to them.

A man convicted of sexually assaulting a child lives in Alexandria, just across an alley from the home of Jeremy and Kristine VanWesten and their two children. Kristine VanWesten went to the Village Board in July and asked for restrictions on sex offenders. Her husband sits on the board.

The ordinance would bar sex offenders from living within 500 feet of schools and parks and school bus stops on village property. A bus stop sits about two blocks away from the sex offender.

The ACLU of Nebraska has told the Village Board the proposed ordinance is unconstitutional.

(AP) — A federal judge has ruled there’s enough probable cause to move forward with the case of an Omaha woman accused of supplying ammunition to a man suspected of going on a three-week killing spree.

U.S. Magistrate Thomas Thalken on Monday ordered 39-year-old Christine Bordeaux to be held until more proceedings in her case are scheduled.

Bordeaux is accused of illegally buying two boxes of Brenneke Classic Magnum 12-gauge ammunition in early August. Authorities have linked the ammunition to several killings in the Omaha area. Nikko Jenkins is currently being held without bond on four counts of first-degree murder in the slayings.

Bordeaux faces a federal charge of being a felon in possession of ammunition. Court records do not indicate an attorney.

(AP) — Police have taken into custody the father of a severely disabled 3-year-old girl whose starvation death is being investigated as a homicide.

Homicide Capt. James Clark says Nathalyz Rivera weighed just 11 pounds when she died Monday.

Police say 30-year-old Carlos Rivera has been located in Philadelphia after fleeing earlier in the day.

Police say he found his daughter unresponsive inside their bug-infested home at about midnight, but called her mother instead of 911.

Clark says the girl’s mother was being questioned and he expects her to be charged.

Authorities say the girl was driven to a hospital and pronounced dead at about 2 a.m. A medical examiner termed her death a homicide caused primarily by starvation.

(AP) — It sounds like one of those insurance horror stories President Barack Obama told to sell his health overhaul to Congress: Bev Veals, dealing with advanced cancer, was in the hospital for chemo this summer when she got a call that her health plan was shutting down.

Then, the substitute insurance she was offered wanted her to pay more than $3,000 — on top of premiums.

But Veals is covered by Obama’s law — one of about 100,000 people with serious medical issues in a troubled program called the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan.

Political divisions over health care have blocked a fix, a bad omen for solving other problems that could surface with “Obamacare.”

Veals said she felt she finally had something dependable “and somebody pulled the plug.”

(AP) — A retired school district administrator from eastern Nebraska is running for the Legislature.

Roy Baker of Lincoln announced Monday that he will seek the seat held by state Sen. Norm Wallman, or Cortland. Wallman is ineligible for re-election in 2014 because of term limits.

Baker retired in 2010 as the superintendent of the Norris School District. He also served as the interim superintendent for Beatrice Public Schools during the last school year, to fill in for an administrator who died. Baker now works as a consultant for school boards who are looking to hire superintendents.

The District 30 legislative seat represents parts of southern Lincoln, Beatrice, and Wymore in southeast Nebraska.

(AP) — Omaha philanthropist Suzanne Scott, whose name adorns many prominent projects alongside her husband Walter, has died.

Suzanne Scott led the Omaha Zoological Foundation from 1984 to 1988, and the zoo’s impressive new aquarium is named in honor of the Scotts.

The 83-year-old Suzanne Scott was married to Walter Scott for more than 25 years. The two met while she worked for the zoo and he led the zoo’s board.

Billionaire Walter Scott is the chairman emeritus of Peter Kiewit Sons Inc.

Suzanne Scott also volunteered her time to a number of organizations and served on the boards of Bellevue University, Children’s Hospital and United Way of the Midlands.

Bill Cutler at the Heafey Heafey Hoffman Dworak and Cutler funeral home said Scott died Monday morning. Funeral arrangements are pending.

(AP) — Authorities have released the names of two people who were killed when a car slammed into an Omaha warehouse.

Omaha police identified the driver as 28-year-old Brooke Mace and her passenger as 27-year-old Claudio Perea-Perez. Both were from Omaha.

The accident in south-central Omaha was discovered about 7 a.m. Sunday.

Police say the car was speeding south into the industrial area and didn’t stop at a T-intersection. There were no skid marks near the crash.

(AP) — Authorities have released the name of an Iowa man who was killed in an Omaha traffic accident.

Omaha police identified him as 19-year-old Matthew Doty, of Council Bluffs.

Police say Doty was thrown from a pickup that went out of control and rolled as it left Interstate 480 in eastern Omaha about 6 p.m. Friday. Doty was pronounced dead at the scene.

The pickup driver, 30-year-old Evan Shiplett, of Zanesville, Ohio, was taken to a hospital for observation. An 18-year-old passenger, Jacob Levene, of Neola, Iowa, left the scene but was later taken to a hospital.

(AP) — Omaha police have arrested a man who punched an officer in the face.

Police say officers on patrol were flagged down Friday by someone who said there was a man acting erratically in a nearby street. The officers soon found the man, who was punching the air and lunging at passing vehicles.

Police say the man punched one of the officers as they approached him. Another officer used a stun gun on the man, who was taken into custody.

The man was taken to a hospital to be checked for a suspected drug overdose, and then he was arrested on suspicion of assault and other charges.

(AP) — Yellowstone National Park officials are investigating the shooting death of a 3-year-old Idaho girl in a campground.

Park spokesman Al Nash says park rangers responded to a call from a woman Saturday morning at the Grant Village Campground who said her daughter had shot herself with a handgun.

Authorities say resuscitation efforts by emergency responders failed. Names haven’t been released.

Nash says park rangers and special park agents are conducting the investigation, and that part of the campground remained cordoned off Sunday.

Nash says he didn’t know how many family members were camping or where they are from in Idaho.

A federal law went into effect Feb. 22, 2010, allowing visitors to possess firearms in the park.

Nash says the last shooting death in the park occurred in 1978.
