Around 10 a.m., Trooper 346 had one male, 10-15, and headed to the Kimball County Jail. Charges included 5429 and 5406. You can find those codes on our website on Panhandle Scanner under Resources.

There was an incident in Gering around 19th Street after 1 p.m. yesterday with police and medical on standby staging at Christ the King Church. Further traffic indicated the suspect did not need any medical attention, and ambulances were canceled on scene. Stay tuned to our public record and Panhandle Scanner News today to see if we get any more on that event. 

At 1.46 p.m., police were on scene at East Overland and 5th Avenue at the gas station for a female who had been assaulted. The initial report was one broken nose with loss of consciousness. One female was transported to Regional West Medical Center. 

At 3.18 p.m., Trooper 346 conducted a 10-6 or PC search, or probable cause, on Highway 385, mile marker 39. Troopers had stopped a red Pontiac with 65 county plates, positive triple checks on both the male and female, and a slew of charges were read off, but no arrest was indicated.

 

And probably our most unusual call of the day, an inattentive driver barreled through some construction barrels and found himself stuck in fresh cement. You can find a picture on our Facebook page on that incident. That was around mile marker 20, Highway 26 in Scottsbluff around 5.30 p.m. No injuries were reported.
