The temple was the scene of anti-gay protests and counter-pro tests last week. The Rev. Fred Phelps of Topeka, Kan., led about 15 protestors in an anti-homosexu ality demonstration across the street from the temple. About 300 counter-protestors gath ered on the steps of the temple. A swastika 8 feet across was drawn in black marker on the doors of the temple, 2055 ST. 20th St., Lincoln Po lice Sgt. Ann Heermann said. The symbol was accompanied by an anti-gay message and the initials “CHCII.” Three smaller, encircled swastikas were drawn on doors on the east side of the temple. The vandalism caused a total of $30 damage. Theft Lincoln police reported a total of six auto thefts over the weekend and a total of eight during the previous week. Lincoln police Sgt. Ann Heermann said warmer spring weather may ac count for a rise in thefts, as it some times does in other crimes. Most strings of crime come in spurts, she said, and it is difficult to identify trends. This year, from September to Feb ruary, auto thefts have increased 10 percent over last year. From September 1993 to February 1994 there were 220 thefts. During the same period in 1994-95, there were 241. When police detect a trend in any kind of crime, she said, they enact problem-oriented policing, which tar gets the cause of the crime, rather than handling each individual incident, Heermanri said. The department’s crime-analysis team'makes strings of related crimes into case studies, she said. The police then use those studies to develop solutions, such as heavy pre vention, education or whatever situa tions demand, Heermann said. Courts Lawyers for two Lincoln police officers must decide this week whether they want to combine the trials of the officers. Officers Luke Wilke and Stephen Schellpeper will head back to court June 5. Their dates were set during an informal meeting with Lancaster County District Court Judge Donald Endacott Friday. Lincoln Fire Capt. Danny Wright also had his trial set. A grand jury indicted the three in connection with the death of Fran cisco Renteria. The jury trials for the officers are expected to run two weeks. Wright’s bench trial is expected to begin June 26 and last approximately one week. Special Prosecutor Robert Bartle said it didn’t matter to him whether the officers were tried together or sepa rately. The court, however, would save money and time with one trial, he said. With all the media attention ex pected to be given to the trials, Bartle said separate trials would only com plicate jury selection for Wright.
