It was a busy night over Scanner traffic, but fortunately, not very many calls for fireworks fires. One call involving fireworks was out at the State Recreation Area in Bridgeport, where a juvenile was cited for fireworks and released to his parents. If you spotted some black smoke yesterday in the area of Scottsbluff Airport, that was a controlled burn, according to airport personnel. East Overland and 3rd Avenue in Scottsbluff was the location of a call for a man who was severely scraped up after experiencing a fall and had ETOH (alcohol) on board. That was around 8.40 p.m. He was transported to Regional West. There was a Gearing medical call just before that at the McDonald's. If you noticed ambulances there, that was a 17-year-old female experiencing a seizure. She was transported to the hospital. Around 11 p.m., Trooper 483 received a report that an individual in a black Dodge Ram was possibly 10-47 or DUI. The traffic stop occurred around Highway 30, County Road 155, and when it was over, it was one male, 10-15, headed to the Sidney Jail. For these cases where we don't hear any follow-up, you can always check the public record the next day. You can get to that public record by visiting our website or by going to our Facebook page by the same name. That's the public record. 20-plus different counties across Nebraska every Monday through Friday. If you have something to report, be sure to give us a call or message the page right there on Panhandle Scanner.
