LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — It’s going on a decade since Nebraska and Colorado went their separate ways because of conference realignment, and current players weren’t born yet or can’t remember when the series was one of the most competitive in the old Big Eight and Big 12. The vibe in Lincoln this week is that the rivalry is still alive heading into Saturday’s game in Boulder, Colorado. Nebraska is still seething from last year’s loss and what the Huskers believe was an intentional injury to quarterback Adrian Martinez.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Democratic presidential candidates Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg are taking a no-compromise approach on overhauling the nation’s gun laws after the latest spate of mass shootings. The former vice president and the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, say Democrats must push universal background checks, red flag laws and a renewed ban on military-style weaponry. Their comments come two days after a gunman went on a rampage in Odessa, Texas, killing seven people before being gunned down by police.
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg is building up his organization in Iowa this month, with an eye on the state’s early caucus. The South Bend, Indiana, mayor plans to use the last quarter’s nearly $25 million in campaign contributions to create an army of peer-to-peer foot soldiers. Buttigieg is racing to catch his better-known 2020 rivals, who have spent months building organizations in the state that marks the first test for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Authorities say Keeney and Jones entered a property and took a vehicle, then entered another property and stole items valued at around $3,000. Jones was found to be in possession of numerous tools used to commit a Burglary, along with a face mask, bug spray and a flashlight. He also had a backpack that contained syringes and a substance that field tested positive for methamphetamine.
The Adair County Sheriff’s Office reports also, 34-year old Sherrece Patricia Kilgore, of Bridgewater, was arrested Aug. 30th in Creston, on an Adair County warrant for a Controlled Substance Violation. She was transferred to the custody of Adair County and released later that same day on a $25,000 cash or surety bond. 38-year old Jason A. Lampman, of Des Moines, was arrested Aug. 30th, on a No Bond warrant out of Lancaster County, Nebraska.
And, 41-year old Jeremias Reyna, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, was arrested Aug. 31st in Adair County, after he allegedly made loud, raucous noises at around 2-a.m., while on a westbound bus to Omaha on Interstate 80, causing unreasonable distress to the other riders. A Sheriff’s deputy spoke with the Burlington Trailways bus driver while the bus was at the Adair Rest Area. The driver said Reyna was intoxicated and had been arguing and yelling with a passenger in the back of the bus. He said the man had been acting up since he boarded the bus in Des Moines.
He also allegedly tried to hit the other passenger. Reyna was warned three times by the driver to calm down and stop causing trouble. He was subsequently escorted off the bus and transported to the Adair County Jail, and released later that same day on his Own Recognizance.
Stuart Police, along with Deputies from Adair and Guthrie County, responded at around 1-p.m. Saturday, to the reported assault of a kidnapping victim. Adair County Sheriff Jeff Vandewater said Monday, the suspect, 32-year old James Scott Smith, Jr., of Mexico, NY, was being held in the Adair County Jail on $1-million, $10,000 bond ($1,010,000.00), on charges that include Domestic Assault with a weapon/1st offense, Harassment in the 1st Degree, Kidnapping in the 1st Degree, and Obstruction of Emergency Communication.
Vandewater says at around 12:44-p.m., Saturday, Guthrie County Dispatch notified Stuart Police Officer Katherine Guisinger, that a female, Amber Leigh Garrison, of Smyrna, NY, was inside the Stuart Casey’s Store. Garrison said she had been assaulted and held by Smith in a Peterbilt semi-truck cab, since approximately July 20th. She said Smith picked her up at a truck stop in Pennsylvania, after the two made contact on a dating site (Plenty of Fish). The woman said once she got in the semi’s cab, she was not allowed to leave.
Garrison said she was also not allowed to use her cellphone or contact her family, until Smith realized she was listed as a missing person through the State of New York. After he saw her missing person flyers on Facebook, Smith told Garrison to call her mother, and tell her Garrison was not missing. Smith also ordered Garrison to e-mail a New York Trooper, Vincent Rinaldo, and tell him the same thing.
The morning of Aug. 31st, Garrison called 911 and put the cellphone under the seat, so Smith wouldn’t know she was calling. After the third 911 call, Smith realized what was going on, and terminated the call. He then allegedly held her in the cab against her will for about an hour, beat her and held a knife towards her. Garrison said Smith threatened to kill her and himself.
Adair County Dispatch 911 records show there were numerous 911 calls placed Saturday morning, beginning at around 9:50-a.m., where a female voice could be heard, asking someone to “drop the knife.” Due to the fact the female caller never spoke with dispatch, they were unable to get an exact location where she was.
When Officer Guisinger arrived at the Stuart Casey’s Store, she made contact with Garrison, who identified the truck she had been held in. She said also, that Smith let her go only after she promised him he wouldn’t call police. The Officer noted Garrison had visible injuries on numerous location of her upper body, including blood coming from her nose. She also complained about a possible infection caused by Smith allegedly having forced her to be tattooed. Garrison was transported to the Adair County Hospital in Greenfield, for treatment of her injuries.
Smith said their relationship was consensual. Authorities say the case remains an open and ongoing investigation, which involves several alleged crimes in multiple states.
