    The call came in early 7:16 AM, rollover north of Mitchell, 20 miles north on Highway 29. Vehicle is on its top. The 22-year-old female was ejected through the windshield and we are asking for your prayers at this time.

    Earlier in the day, 3:47 AM, Trooper 321 was out doing some 10-6 testing after stopping a truck and trailer west of Hwy 385. The testing was for 10-47 (DUI) and also a firearm check was run on a 9mm. That came up clear, but the testing did not. One male arrested for drunk driving.

    We had a possible assault in southeast Scottsbluff yesterday involving a 35-year-old female. That was the initial scanner call that we heard over scanner traffic. People close to the case said that the female was known and was actually arrested for aggravated assault that evening. The assault was reportedly on a male.

    At 3:36 PM, a report came in from the north side of Highway 20, mile marker 64 in Dawes County. Donkeys out. We've had several different types of livestock and wildlife spotted on the highways, but I think this is the first call for donkeys out. Trooper 483 immediately responded and was 10-77 or unable to locate the animals all the way from Shadrin to mile marker 58. They must have high-tailed it back to their place before the trooper was able to get there.

    They were probably listening to the scanner.

    And you can too!

    Sidney was the hot spot for most of our traffic yesterday. Other than the car fire from Cherry County, linked below.

    The day started with a stolen U-Haul being recovered.

    Then, just about an hour later, Scanner traffic indicated that Cheyenne County was in a high speed pursuit with a Toyota Tundra on Highway 385 speeds over 95. Further Scanner traffic advised that they have the driver identified and are discontinuing the pursuit. They usually do this in the interest of public safety, especially after the 10-12 or subject has been identified.

    And then just afternoon, an accident was reported on Highway 26. A vehicle accident with an injured with an injured patient with a head injury bleeding from the head to mouth holding the one. Crews were arranging for blood transport when Medics on scene canceled that request and a partial trauma team was activated for the unrestrained 50s year old female with lacerations to her face. Our prayers for both drivers and for the situation and all emergency responders.

    We also heard an unfortunate call on Woodley Park Road in Terri Town yesterday for an elderly female who had passed away. Again, we offer our prayers and condolences for these families affected.

    Two calls less than an hour apart for children experiencing falls at school came in yesterday, one at 10.49am and another one at 11.56. The first one was at Lincoln Elementary, reportedly a 9 year old fell and had a positive loss of consciousness. The second call was at Geil Elementary for an 8 year old female who hit her head and also had a possible loss of consciousness and Scanners traffic did indicate that she was transported to regional west.

    Just before noon, troopers were preparing for a cattle crossing on L62A. If you remember, some time ago there was a tragic accident that killed a couple on 385 and a young delivery driver came over the hill, ramming into the couple killing them. Remember to us caution at all times whenever you see emergency vehicles at a cattle crossing or any livestock or wildlife on the roads.

    We hear a lot of different license plates come across the scanner, once in a while we'll hear ones from other countries and in this case, Trooper 321 had a vehicle from Saskatchewan stopped at 8.30pm and issued a warning for a moving traffic violation.

    At 9:12 pm, Trooper 235 was checking on a female out of Colorado for a 10-60 or driving under suspension possibility. Further scanner traffic indicated she was given a warning.

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.

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.
