Scanner News for Friday August 16, 2024

Let's take a look at what's happening around the Panhandle for Friday, August 16, 2024.

A positive follow-up on that medical emergency that we had on Highway 26 on Wednesday, Family reported in, they did ask for privacy and respect, but did want to report that the little boy
was able to go home. Still need some improvement though.

A reminder about our kiddos getting back to school and the road construction around the different towns in the valley, including a alliance with the road closure on West 10th
Street between Ramblin and Highway 385.

And in Goshen County area man is wanted, Andrew Atkinson is charged with two counts of aggravated assault, one count of strangling a household member and a fourth count of child abuse,
each punishable up to 10 years in prison and $10,000 in fines. Goshen County authorities are looking for the 26-year-old man accused of disfiguring his girlfriend by pistol whipping her and kicking her and pushing her and her child to
the ground, amongst other things.

The community has responded in a big way after the Jackson family lost their teen son JT, a recent graduate of gearing high school in a tragic motor vehicle crash.
At least two events have been set up so far with more coming in. August 31, drive-through benefit BBQ at the Nebraska State Patrol headquarters, and Greg and Stacey Shane, a man of Dairy King, posted another fundraiser for the Fast Food
Truck Festival at the Western Nebraska Pioneers Ballpark. That is scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, August 17, 4-9pm at the Oregon Trail Park Stadium.
