Body discovered near
North Platte
NORTH PLATTE (AP) —
The Lincoln County Sheriff’s
office is treating the death of a
45-year-old man as a homicide.
The man’s body was discov
ered about 9:30 a.m. CDT
Wednesday at a campground at
Lake Maloney, just south of
North Platte.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Jerry
Wilson said the body was found
several feet from the screen door
of a rented 18-foot travel trailer
by a neighbor.
Wilson estimated the time of
death between 4:30 a.m. and 9
a.m. Wednesday.
The body was taken to
Omaha for an autopsy.
Lincoln County Attorney
Jeff Meyer said he expects pre
liminary autopsy findings
Friday.
Wilson said there was no
apparent reason for the man’s
death leading investigators to
treat it as a crime.
Police did not find a weapon
at the scene.
Authorities moved the trailer
to a secure area for a thorough
search and interviewed other
campers Wednesday.
Wilson declined to release
the victim’s name pending noti
fication of relatives.
Ag bailout bill may net
Nebraska $400 million
LINCOLN (AP) —
President Clinton's signing of a
third big bailout of the agricul
tural economy in as many years
could be sending as much as
$400 million to Nebraska.
State officials said that could
be Nebraska’s cut of the $ 15 bil
lion package of cash payments
and insurance subsidies the pres
ident signed Tuesday.
The bill includes more than
$8 billion to expand and cut the
cost of federal crop insurance,
$5.5 billion for payments to
grain and cotton growers this fall
and $ 1.6 billion for other farmers
and lawmakers’ special projects.
State Ag Director Merlyn
Carlson said the bailout total is
nearly double the last package
and for good reason.
He said prices remain about
the same as they were last year,
costs are up and drought condi
tions compound farmer prob
lems. He said this could be a
tougher year than 1999.
U.S. Ag Secretary Dan
Glickman said the bailout "was
a clear admission” the 1996 farm
law failed to provide an effective
safety net for American farmers.
Carlson said the aid could at
least buy some time for finan
cially troubled farmers.
Former liquor commission
er contesting DUI arrest
HASTINGS (AP) — The
former chairman of the
Nebraska Liquor Control
Commission is contesting the
events that led to his arrest for
drunken driving.
Jack Crowley, 61, of
Hastings, is charged with driving
under the influence of alcohol
and no operators license after he
was stopped for speeding May
25, 1999. He pleaded innocent
June 10, 1999. He resigned from
the commission June 30,1999.
His attorney claimed during
a hearing Tuesday the speed limit
is not posted along the stretch of
road in Hastings where Crowley
was arrested, so there was not
probable cause to stop him.
The arresting officer coun
tered Crowley’s vehicle was
clocked by radar going 14 miles
per hour over the 25 mph limit.
Since he says the traffic stop
was not warranted, Crowley’s
attorney is trying to suppress
information from events follow
ing the stop, including results
from a blood-alcohol test and
testimony from police about
attempts by Crowley to adminis
ter field sobriety tests.
After more than three hours
of testimony on Tuesday, Adams
County Judge Robert Ide contin
ued the hearing until Aug. 25.
Federal funds allocated for
police cruiser cameras
LINCOLN (AP)—A federal
grant of nearly $118,000 will
purchase 69 more in-car video
camera systems for Nebraska
law enforcement agencies.
Gov. Mike Johanns, who
announced the federal highway
safety grant Wednesday, said the
Nebraska State Patrol would
receive 32 of the cameras and
Bellevue Police Department
would get 24.
The Dawson County sheriff’s
office would get three cameras,
Sherman County sheriff two, and
one each for Arnold, Papillion,
Plattsmouth and Kearney police,
and for sheriff’s departments in
Custer, Dixon, Polk and Wayne
counties.
State Highway Safety
Administrator Fred Zwonechek
said the purchases will bring to
588 the total in-car camera sys
tems awarded the past four years.
