The attorney for a man convicted in a 2014 murder and arson in Crawford County is seeking a new trial for his client. According to the Omaha World-Herald, Attorney Michael Williams filed a motion in Crawford County District Court on Wednesday, requesting a new trial for 26-year old Michael David Schenk, of Denison, who was convicted on Jan. 28th of two counts of first-degree murder and one count of second-degree arson, in connection with the March 2014 murders of 80-year old Marvin Huelsing, of Maple River and 81-year old Alice Huisenga, of Arcadia. Their badly burned bodies were found on Huelsing’s farm between Deloit and Denison.
Williams’ motion contends that the verdict was contrary to the evidence in the case. It also says the court erred in several ways, including overruling the defense’s objection to the introduction of a Walmart receipt that was used to connect Schenk to a pickup found at the scene. Schenk’s sentencing is March 13th.
Schenk and a codefendant, 19-year old Jayden Ray Chapman, of Denison each were initially charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of first-degree arson. The arson charge against Schenk was reduced during the trial. Chapman’s trial is set for April 28.
A third defendant, 37-year old Erika Dains, of Denison pleaded guilty to reduced charges of second-degree burglary and misdemeanor accessory after the fact. As part of a plea agreement, she testified for the prosecution in Schenk’s trial.
Two men were arrested Thursday night in north Omaha, while a third escaped, after the vehicle they were in stopped as it was being pursued by Iowa State Patrol troopers into Nebraska. 38-year old Michael McNary was identified as the driver of the vehicle. Authorities say a passenger was 24-year old Anthony Miller. According to the Omaha World-Herald, Douglas County, NE, emergency 911 dispatchers told Omaha police that Iowa troopers were chasing a westbound vehicle on Interstate 480 into Omaha and that it left I-480 onto Dodge Street. The troopers ended their pursuit shortly after crossing the Missouri River into Omaha.
ABLE 1, the Omaha police department’s helicopter, was in the area and spotted the vehicle at 15th and Dodge Streets, police said. ABLE 1 provided updates for officers as the vehicle traveled in the northeast precinct area. Police said no Omaha officers pursued the vehicle.The vehicle stopped in the area of 38th and Cass Streets and three occupants fled from the vehicle on foot.
After a perimeter was established by police, McNary and Miller were taken into custody around 10 p.m. They were taken to police headquarters at 15th and Howard Streets and were booked into the Douglas County Jail on suspicion of various charges.
A Council Bluffs man is charged with arson after he allegedly set a fire at a facility for the intellectually disabled. The Daily NonPareil says according to a police report, 46-year old Clyde W. Points was arrested on a warrant for third-degree arson Thursday for his role in a trash receptacle fire at VODEC, 612 S. Main Street. A Council Bluffs Fire Department investigator said Points allegedly set a dumpster near the VODEC building on fire on Wednesday.
Police were able to identify Points from surveillance footage at the facility.The fire investigator said authorities are investigating whether the fire could be connected to a string of dumpster fires that occurred in September of 2013.
A Council Bluffs man is in custody on drug and gun charges, along with a warrant for eluding police. The Daily NonPareil reports authorities arrested 51-year old Mark A. Pike, at around 6:50-p.m. Thursday, on a litany of charges. Police said an officer found that a truck in the 3500 block of Avenue D belonged to Pike, who had outstanding warrants. Officers arrested Pike and, after receiving consent, searched the truck and home, finding methamphetamine, marijuana, drug equipment and a 32-caliber revolver.
Authorities say the original warrant stemmed from an incident that took place on Oct. 23rd, 2014, when Pike allegedly eluded police during an attempted traffic stop at South Eighth Street and Eighth Avenue. A brief chase ensued – with Pike allegedly speeding through stop signs – before officers terminated the pursuit because of safety concerns.
For the chase, Pike faces charges that include eluding a police officer, reckless driving, operation without registration and disobedience to signs and signals. Charges from Thursday’s arrest include suspicion of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver-methamphetamine, possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver-marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, having a concealed weapon without a permit and drug tax stamp violation. Pike remained at the Pottawattamie County Jail on a $100,000 bond.
JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — Adam Wainwright won’t pitch in exhibition games until mid-March because of his abdominal strain, a delay that could prevent the St. Louis Cardinals ace from starting the major league season opener at the Chicago Cubs on April 5.’
Wainwright was hurt Monday while putting a 45-pound weight back on a rack. He returned to St. Louis for an examination by Dr. Michael Brunt, who said the injury was minor. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny is open to the idea of pushing back Wainwright’s season debut a couple of days if the right-hander doesn’t respond to proscribed rest as quickly as doctors expect.
