Wisconsin
police find
suspect
By Jake Bleed
Senior staff writer
A man suspected of sexually
assaulting two teen-age Lincoln girls
Nov. 27 was arrested in Wisconsin on
Saturday night after being involved
in a bar fight.
Lancaster County Sheriff Terry
Wagner said police in Richland, Wis.,
are holding 32-year-old James
Grupe, 6821 S.W. 12* St., until
extradition can be arranged.
Lancaster County Attorney Gary
Lacey said he will request that Grupe
be sent back to Nebraska to face
charges of first-degree sexual
assault.
Wagner said two girls sneaked
out of one of the girls’ houses and
went over to Grupe’s home. After
drinking alcohol with the 14- and 15
year-old girls, Grupe allegedly had
_ sex with one and fondled another,
Wagner said.
Sheriff’s deputies investigating
the crime wanted to interview Grupe
but could not find him, Wagner said,
leading deputies to get a warrant for
Grupe’s arrest.
“It was pretty obvious to us that
he had fled the jurisdiction,” Wagner
said.
The warrant, issued Friday, came
up a day later when police in
Wisconsin ran Grupe’s name through
a national criminal database, Wagner
said. "
Several warrants for Grupe’s
arrestjiad also been issued in
Wisconsin, Wagner said, fotburglary_
and other crimes. Wagner said Grupe
might have family in the state.
Grupe was released from the
Nebraska State Penitentiary in
September after serving four years
on a charge of making terroristic
threats. Wagner said Grupe was
charged in 1995 with sexual assault
but plea bargained down to making
terroristic threats.

From staff reports
Tonight viewers of NETV

documentary produced by Joe
Turco, will air at 8:30 p.m.
The program takes a look at
band auditions, summer band camp

“Not only does it deal with

moments that have happened in the
NU band history.”
The band, which started as an
all-men military band 120 years
ago, doesn’t always get the atten

tion it deserves, Turco said.
Carol Swanson, band secretary,
said band members and leaders are
looking forward to seeing the final
product.
“The directors are very excited
about it,” Swanson said.
Throughout the documentary,
Turco also followed rookie band
members and their reactions to
playing in Memorial Stadium for
the first time.
Turco, who in past projects has
focused on more serious topics,
such as gambling, said working on
the documentary was fun.
“This gives me an opportunity
to take a completely different
approach,” he said.
He said viewers should be sur
prised by how much work goes into
the band’s game shows.
