Scanner News for Wednesday August 21, 2024

It’s time for Panhandle Scanner News. I’m your host, Brian Hale.

Let’s take a look at what’s happening around the Panhandle for Wednesday, August 21st.
Scanner traffic indicated mutual aid being requested for support for an emergency aircraft landing yesterday at County Road 27 and County Road J. It was a crop duster, the aircraft was found upright and the pilot was out safely.

Construction Zone Warning.
Too many deaths on Nebraska highways according to the Nebraska Department of Transportation, 25 people have lost their lives this year, including the Arizona man that died in the single vehicle accident that closed down I-80 yesterday.

Please be careful in construction zones.
We also had the Broadwater Turnout MVA just before 3 p.m., Scanner traffic indicated an accident at the Broadwater Turnout or the intersection of Highway 26 and 92.
It was originally reported as a rollover corrected later as a side swipe accident.

And a new league has been announced. You know, in a small community there’s often
an excuse that there’s nothing to do. Well, if you weren’t aware of it, the Twin Cities
is the proud home of a very successful collegiate baseball team, the Western Nebraska pioneers. In fact, their success has led to the organization of a new league. Check out this recent announcement hot off the press.

And yesterday afternoon, Scanner traffic indicated an assault being reported on East
Overland near the Lakota Center. The female victim was reportedly punched in the face and held on the ground by the attacker. Lots of public commentary on that post on our Facebook page about the need for a homeless shelter in the area.

Also don’t forget our public record every Monday through Friday when available with Daily Jail rosters, inmate search tools, daily specials from our sponsor Main Street Market, recent arrests and arraignments and court appearances.
