A Nebraska man wanted on warrants and theft-related crimes was caught by the police and arrested last weekend when he was caught after crashing into a tree while allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol.

According to reports, Russ’s Grocery Store in Lincoln was recently robbed twice by the same suspect, who was able to escape both times before law enforcement arrived. On the evening of April 2, an individual walked into the market and collected what was later estimated to be $50 worth of food items.

Wicked Wonderland is a curio shop in Orange City co-owned by a 52-year-old woman and her business partner. According to reports, in December 2023, the Orange City Police Department received a call from someone who wanted to report the business for allegedly listing and selling what they believed were authentic human bones on Facebook Marketplace. An investigation was opened, and the police checked out the business’s profile page. They reported that they saw multiple posts advertising pieces of human bones for sale, including two small skull fragments, a clavicle, a scapula, a rib, a piece of vertebrae, and a larger chunk of skull.

The police talked to the 53-year-old about the situation, and the woman reportedly said she bought the bones from private sellers and believed the transactions were legal since they were meant for educational purposes. She also reportedly said she was unaware that it was illegal to sell the bone pieces, as she had been doing so for several years. The items in her store were collected by the police and turned over to the medical examiner for further investigation.

A Missouri man is scheduled to appear in court in the middle of May regarding charges stemming from an incident where he reportedly crashed into a convenience store, causing over $3,000 in damage, and drove away before dealing with the situation.

Just before midnight on February 27, the surveillance camera at a Kum & Go gas station convenience store in Springfield recorded a vehicle as it smashed into the side of the building and caused two large glass windows worth an estimated $3,700 to shatter. Right after the incident, the driver of the truck, which was identified as a 2012 Dodge Ram, reportedly backed up and drove away. The employees notified the authorities, and law enforcement from the Springfield Police Department headed to the business to investigate.

About 10 minutes after the accident, and before an officer arrived, the person later believed to be the driver of the truck went back to the Kum & Go and this time entered the store. The man started talking to one of the workers about the situation, but did not mention having anything to do with the incident before he left the premises a second time.
