As we got closer to norfolk, the vehicle began to slow down and we were coming in on highway 81 past the airport, said sgt. Volk. As the tractor trailer barreled towards norfolk, police in the city were already making plans in the event the truck went over the viaduct into the citys biggest intersection. It was at that point, right before the river bridge that deputy volk knew something needed to be done. As he came by, i could see the drivers head slumped down and felt he was not conscious and it popped in my head that we need to get this vehicle stopped.

A norfolk mans second attempt to appeal his murder conviction has been shot down. The Nebraska Supreme Court today upheld the Second Degree murder conviction of 26year old dearis trice. Trice was first convicted in 2013 for the stabbing death of 27 yearold Timothy Warren at a Norfolk House party in december of 2010.

With lows near 0 and windchills in the teens and 20s below zero, but thats just the tip of the iceberg pun intended as far as cold is concerned this weekend. Highs will be in the teens on saturday with cloudy skies before some light snow moves in from the northwest late saturday and saturday night that could drop an inch or two of the white stuff by sunday morning. While this is happening, our temperatures will take another hit and drop into the doubledigits below zero and barely make it above zero sunday afternoon.
