Good morning, Lincoln.

On Saturday, nearly 200 players from 39 youth teams and 16 adult teams played in the YMCA Railyard Rims charity tournament to support programs like swim lessons and memberships — organizers noted the great weather and community spirit during the quick 10-minute games.

Columbus police report that a female suspect attacked an officer with a knife (near 13th Street and 30th Avenue) before another officer fatally shot her (Saturday afternoon), and the injured officer was taken to a hospital and later released.

On Friday, 54-year-old Ronald Burns was arrested at Pentzer Park near 28th and Fair after he, very drunk, allegedly attacked an officer by throwing a blanket, pushing him, hitting his foot with a broken mop handle and kicking him while handcuffed—he was taken to Lancaster County Jail and treated at a hospital for a small cut on his face.

A Lincoln man was arrested after a nearly $4,000 diamond engagement ring was stolen from a truck last month — court filings show.

On Friday, Attorney General Mike Hilgers sued Savage Enterprises— a Wyoming corporation based in California— for selling illegal synthetic THC products that used deceptive practices to target youth and misrepresent product content; his office had earlier issued cease and desist orders to retail stores after tests found products with illegal delta-9 levels.

The ACLU filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of Maria Reynosa Jacinto— a single mother arrested in an ICE raid on June 10—challenging her continued detention in a North Platte jail after an immigration judge set a $9,000 bond on July 15.

The suit argues that ICE’s automatic stay on bond orders violates due process as new interim guidance keeps many detained immigrants from release.

At Haymarket Park on July 31, the Sioux City Explorers beat the Lincoln Saltdogs 7-2—Kyle Marman pitched seven strong innings and D’Shawn Knowles hit two home runs to help the Explorers claim the season series.
