Box Butte, Morrill County are both waiting for this guy. Then finally, L-62A, mile marker 1, after a successful spike, troopers and deputies have one male in custody. (Taken to Scotts Bluff County Jail) Further traffic indicated that he did not have a warrant, but if you were listening to Scanner traffic and heard his name, you may remember him from the story that we did on January 11th of last year when a meth possession case he was involved in was dropped. Great coordination between dispatchers, troopers and deputies.

(BIG SPRINGS, Neb.) — Early Sunday morning, just after midnight, Big Springs Fire and Rescue was dispatched to a grass fire west of town. Any fire that starts in these conditions with wind can be very difficult to get under control. We are currently under a red flag warning. Red flag warning means conditions are right for fires to start or spread easily. Don’t forget, you need a burn permit. Call in prior to starting your burn to make sure it’s okay to burn that day. Burning is only allowed from dawn to dusk and you need to have a water source readily available and the burn cannot be left unattended.
