Good morning, Bellevue.

Two men were arrested Wednesday in Omaha after a high-speed chase that began at 12:45 a.m. on Highway 75 north of downtown and lasted 50 minutes until officers used stop sticks — the Bellevue driver Anthony Chase was booked for obstructing, willful reckless driving while the Omaha passenger Mason Trevillion was held on an outstanding warrant.

On Oct. 23, 2019 Andrea Georgeson was robbed and shot in her car near 108th and Old Mill and after nearly two years of investigation, police arrested Cordell Bridgeman—who was convicted for other robberies in 2020—and he will be charged with first-degree murder as her family calls for justice.

Thirteen state senators are asking for a hearing over Gov. Pillen's decision to use a McCook facility as an ICE detention center and they question its legal authority, impact, and cost to Nebraskans—officials say the move was made without proper public input.
