Excellent teamwork by troopers, deputies, and officers from across Nebraska to ensure the safety for the President’s visit to Grand Island. President Donald Trump visited Grand Island, Nebraska on Monday, October 5th to headline a major midterm election campaign rally. Speaking to a standing-room-only crowd of approximately 5,800 people at the Pinnacle Bank Expo Center at Fonner Park, the visit marked the first time a sitting President had traveled to Grand Island in 20 years. George Bush last visited in 2006.

Last evening, a two-vehicle accident occurred at the intersection of Broadway and East 20th Street in Scottsbluff. The accident occurred around 10 p.m. with unknown injuries. Check our page for any follow-up on that today.

And in court news, Aaron Wilder, 23, of Mitchell, was sentenced to 90 days in the Scotts Bluff County Jail October 1st. It followed a plea agreement stemming from a February incident in which he allegedly threatened two people by phone. Wilder was originally arrested February 6th after Scotts Bluff police officers responded to a report that two victims said Wilder had threatened to kill them during a phone call. Under the agreement, the two Class 3A felony counts of terroristic threats were amended to two Class 1 misdemeanor counts of assault by threatening in a menacing manner. Wilder failed to appear for a scheduled sentencing on the 17th, and a bench warrant was served September 23rd in Scottsbluff.
