As a follow-up to yesterday's early morning breaking story from WNCC, on Tuesday morning at approximately 3:42 am, the Scotts Bluff Police Department was dispatched to WNCC as security had located a subject attempting to gain access to parked vehicles. Scottsbluff officers arrived on scene and located a subject wearing a mask and carrying a backpack. The subject said he was going to shoot and kill officers and continued telling officers to shoot him. The male ran from officers and was able to climb onto the roof of the Auto-tech building.

Scottsbluff Police determined the male subject to be in a mental health crisis.

The male then laid down on the roof and refused to comply with officer commands. During the live event, Panhandle Scanner obtained a live streamed video from the subject himself. In the video, he complained that he wasn't getting the help that he needed, and he was making demands to see his kids and get something to eat and drink.

After several hours, the situation was resolved peacefully, and the subject is currently getting the help that he needed. For full details on the story and who it was, visit our news page at Panhandlescanner.com. Our continued prayers for that situation.

There was also some police activity on the EWC campus in Torrington, but don't be alarmed. What started yesterday will continue today as the Torrington Police Department is hosting a regional training event at Eastern Wyoming College focused on law enforcement response to active threat incidents. So yesterday and today, there is a significant law enforcement presence at EWC. Please be aware that this is a training event.

Well, there's a situation ongoing right now this morning at WNCC where an individual is on the roof of a building demanding to see his kids and to get something to eat and to drink. We'll have more on the situation today on Panhandle Scanner, so stay tuned.

Yesterday evening, a storm rolled through. Most of the panhandle got some pretty decent rain. Over an inch in some parts.

Yesterday morning around 6:40 am, there was a report of a trike bike accident that occurred at the intersection of West 3rd and Highway 385 near the Maverick Station in Alliance. Our prayers for that three-wheeled motorcycle accident in Alliance.

Around 6:23 pm, scanner traffic indicated a robbery in progress. The location was County Road 26 and Highway 26. That's a rural area. The suspects had left the scene, two Hispanic males, one 6 feet, 250 pounds, the other one 5 feet, 8 inches, 160 pounds. If you know anything about this robbery from County Road 26 yesterday, please notify your local authorities.

If you'd like to get some news from more than just the panhandle, we also have Greater Nebraska Scanner, where you'll find that AR-15 road rage incident in York County, Nebraska. A Connecticut man is under arrest for terroristic threats and other charges after a witness says he threatened him with an automatic rifle. For those familiar with weapons, there is no automatic civilian weapon. Therefore, that press release from York County should have read semi-automatic. For these stories and more across the state, follow our Greater Nebraska Scanner.

It's been hot. We all know that.

Trooper Kleich with the Nebraska State Patrol spotted a moose in the canal near Scottbluff yesterday. He is just cooling down, evidently, from the heat wave that continues to batter the region. If you don't have to be outside in these extreme temperatures, we remind you to stay indoors and stay hydrated.

Also, watch out for livestock and wildlife on the roads, as always. Scanner traffic indicated a car vs deer accident on mile marker 15, Highway 92, Sunday night around 10:30.

There is an important lettuce recall that we want to make you aware of. Taylor Farms has initiated a recall of all iceberg lettuce from Central Mexico, which includes Marketside brands, sold at Walmart. That's a lettuce recall for iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms.

Youth crime seems to be on the rise. Not only were seven teenagers arrested in the recent SWAT operation in Scott's Bluff, Geary, and Bayard. Yesterday, two teens shot each other in Rapid City, South Dakota, where both youth ended up hospitalized and in custody.

Last night, scanner traffic indicated a situation around the 800 block of Main Street in Bayard. One user reported that it was a false report and that there was no need for an alarm.

We hear a variety of calls over scanner traffic.

One yesterday included a report of a hitchhiker walking westbound on Highway 92 and County Road 32. We always advise folks of those walkers to be sure that they look out for them as they're traveling.

Followers reported that a drone was lost in the Northfield Park area. They were asking for help in trying to locate it. If you find a black drone in the Northfield Park area of Gering, Nebraska, please contact our page at Panhandle Scanner.

There was a situation in Frank Park in Scottsbluff yesterday. We received several reports from multiple parents upset about what occurred, which included reports of a male described as white, slender and bald head, possibly late 30s, attacking teenagers that were in a vehicle parked near Frank Park. We'll have more on that as that story develops.

And there's a search party for a missing dog in Bridgeport, Nebraska. Tatum is six months old. He got out in Bridgeport between H and I streets. He's a Border Collie Red Heeler Mix, nicknamed Tatum Nuggets. There's a search party and a reward for this missing dog in Bridgeport. See our post on Panhandle Scanner.

Gering, Scottsbluff, Bayard, those were the three cities that were hit. Early on July 15th, SWAT activities were reported in those three cities, in Scotts Bluff and Morrill Counties.

Panhandle Scanner News Team was in close contact with authorities that executed high-profile warrants in Scottsbluff, Bayard, and Gering in the early morning hours of July 15th. Media personnel, Cody Thomas with the Nebraska State Patrol, tells Panhandle Scanner that Sheriff Mark Overman and Sheriff Brown with Scottsbluff County Sheriff's Office took the lead on this warrant execution assignment. Following multiple months of investigation by W.I.N.G. and partner agencies, law enforcement served multiple search and arrest warrants beginning in the early morning hours.

Due to the nature of the crimes and weapons involved, the warrants were served by the Scotts Bluff County SWAT Team, the Nebraska State Patrol SWAT Team, and the U.S. Marshals Metro Fugitive Task Force. All warrants were served without incident. The Scottsbluff and Gering Police Departments, Scottsbluff County Sheriff's Office, and the Nebraska State Patrol, including the Air Wing, Homeland Security Investigators Agents, and Regional West Ambulance Service, also provided personnel for this key operation.

Two adults, Preston Torres-Islas, age 18, and Rochne Gukeisen, age 19, were charged with possession of a machine gun. Five juveniles were arrested, three aged 17, one 15, and one 16. All are in custody.

Dangerous drugs, automatic weapons, and out-of-control youth.

Thank you to the agencies that carried out this operation, keeping our community safe. And don't forget our public record every day for more crime news.

We are thankful to the sponsors and to this radio station, which is not only heard on their flagship station in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, licensed out of Terrytown, but KCMI Radio is also heard in Sidney on 93.5 FM and in Rushville at 99.1. And you can also listen to KCMI on the web, streaming on their website through Live 365 Radio and also on TuneIn.

Speaking of that Sidney area, the Potter Volunteer Fire Department is holding a CPR class where registration for that ends today. That class is July 19th. For more information about that CPR class, contact the Potter Volunteer Fire Department.

A traffic stop on I-80 was initiated when troopers noticed a vehicle matching a Bolo or Be On The Lookout issued from Illinois. Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol working with the United States Marshal Service have arrested three people just outside of Kimball, including a person wanted for attempted homicide in Illinois.

So what do you think? Should daylight savings time be permanent and stop all this changing clocks back and forth? Well, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill making time change permanent, but the bill has to pass the Senate. The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Sunshine Protection Act in a bipartisan 308 to 117 vote. The bill must pass the Senate and be signed by the president to become law. Though President Donald Trump has indicated support, the bill faces immediate headwinds in the Senate due to ongoing disagreements about whether permanent standard time or permanent daylight savings time is safer for winter commutes.

As we were going on the air this morning, we received word of multiple SWAT incidents throughout the panhandle. Stay tuned to Panhandle Scanner throughout the day.
