Good morning, Lincoln.

On Wednesday, June 11, a 2017 Toyota Tacoma struck a pedestrian near 53rd Street and Normal Boulevard in southeast Lincoln, leaving the person in critical condition and causing a nearly seven-hour road closure while officers investigated the collision.

Timothy Bowie, 42, was charged with first-degree assault and use of a deadly weapon after he stabbed a 43-year-old man during a robbery attempt at a southeast Lincoln business complex on Tuesday — a Lancaster County judge set his bond at $1 million with $100,000 to be paid for release.

After a domestic disturbance call just after 9 p.m. Tuesday near Waverly Elementary at 146th and Danvers, Lancaster County Sheriff’s deputies found 31-year-old Caleb Monico fleeing his Jeep and later hiding under a bush, and a search of the vehicle turned up a loaded handgun and suspected methamphetamine—he now faces felony charges for firearm possession by a felon, stalking with a firearm, and possession of drugs on school property.

Lincoln police arrested a California man for fraud after a 78-year-old victim received a phony email on June 3 that led him to exchange nearly $100,000 for gold from a local bullion dealer — officers later apprehended the suspect at the victim’s home, set his bond at 10% of $1,000,000, and scheduled his hearing for July 9.

A 55-year-old Lincoln man was arraigned Tuesday with a 10% bond for two counts of accessory to a felony after a shooting at a home near 26th and Potter on June 7 that left two people critically injured—police said they expect to arrest the suspected shooter soon as the investigation continues.

Uncle Sam Jam will take place on July 3 at Haymarket Park — the event moves from Oak Lake Park this year.

On June 2, USDA Deputy Under Secretary Brooke Appleton announced that 12 Nebraska counties, including Lincoln, were designated as primary disaster areas because of a prolonged drought—farmers in these counties can apply for FSA emergency loans for eight months following the designation.
