Well, a couple of nights ago we heard some scanner traffic that was a little unusual, and people had asked us about it. Trooper 290 was with Morrill County with a report just east of the South Bayard Junction that there were people running away from vehicles. Unsure if related to that same event, moments later Trooper 290 had one male 10-15 for 10-47. That means in custody for suspicion of drunk driving.
You also heard us talk about some other traffic, including the stabbing in Alliance. At approximately 2:51am on Monday, the Alliance Police Department and the Fire Department were dispatched to the 900 block of West 2nd Street for a report of a man that had been stabbed. As investigators worked to determine what happened, they identified Fred John Red Nest, 47, as a suspect in the assault. Police determined Red Nest had left the area following the incident, and they began searching the surrounding area, including railroad property. During the search, a bloody t-shirt was located near the tracks. According to police, Red Nest later admitted his involvement in the assault during a post-arrest interview. Investigators say he told them he had discarded the knife along a dirt road near the residence. Red Nest was booked into Box Butte County Jail on charges of first degree assault, second degree assault, burglary, and use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony.
You may remember the tragic semi-versus-semi accident near the Brady exit on I-80 recently. On the 24th of August, an SP announced that the driver of the flatbed semi, Alex Latsabidze, 46, of New York, had been arrested on suspicion of motor vehicle homicide (for driving too slow on the interstate).
