Panhandle Scanner News for January 14, 2026
(SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb.) -- Yesterday morning around 9 a.m., there was a motor vehicle accident at Bomgaar's that was Highway 26 in East Overland in Scotts Bluff. One male was reportedly trapped and in the end there was one 70-year-old male transported to regional West with minor injuries. Partial trauma team was declared though due to the criteria. Follow-up traffic indicated another female was also transported to the hospital.
Yesterday had made it difficult for dispatchers around the panhandle. Cheyenne County was helping out Scotts Bluff County as 911 lines were down, so several calls were transferred throughout the day.
A theft was reported in Baird where a person called in and said their wallet had fallen out of their car and another car came by and picked it up and sped off. They caught the license plate number and follow-up traffic indicated a physical fight at that location a short time later. Both Morrill County and Nebraska State Patrol responded to this incident.
Around 7:10 p.m. yesterday there was a wrong way driver on Highway 26 around mile marker 9 heading west in the eastbound lanes. It was a white Buick. Thank you to those who call in those wrong way drivers.
Trooper 431 assisted Mitchell PD on a PC search at around 8 20 p.m. last night resulting in one male 10-15, or under arrest.
And early this morning there were several noise complaints coming from 1413 E 17 Street. One around 4 a.m. and another one at 5 a.m. Please be respectful of your neighbors in apartment complexes.

Yesterday just before noon, scanner traffic indicated a training exercise from the fire department on a potential fire victim. It is always appreciated when law enforcement and fire personnel give the public a proper heads up to these training exercises.
Today is Law Enforcement Appreciation Day and it doesn't take a big gesture to make a meaningful impact. Often it's the simple, thoughtful acts that remind officers their service is seen and valued.
A few tips for showing appreciation might be to drop off some snacks at the local department.
Write thank you notes.
Offer face to face thank you's.
Pay for an officer's meal or coffee if you see them in the community.
Share a positive message about law enforcement with your friends and family and take a moment to pray for officers and their families, especially those working nights, weekends and holidays.
Behind every badge is a person and a family carrying the weight of service together.
Let's be intentional about our gratitude not just today but every day.
A huge thank you to all law enforcement officers and personnel in the area.
Roosevelt Public Power District is giving away some free power poles today. They have a large quantity of old used poles anywhere from 25 to 40 feet in length and they are giving them away. Call the office today. If you missed calling the office yesterday, bring a trailer today and check in with the office to see if any more are available or give the office a call at Roosevelt Public Power District. You will need to stop in the office and sign a waiver before you pick them up.

A rescue operation took place after 10 a.m. on Wednesday when a male was reportedly in the river and stuck in the mud. The call came from Mitchell South Road. After some ingenuity and little work, the man was rescued.
Trooper 346 conducted a felony stop on a suspected 1075 or stolen vehicle. It was actually a trailer. That was around mile marker 58 on I-80 eastbound with an Oklahoma vehicle. After a short investigation, it was determined that the trailer was not 1075 and was likely double rented by the company.
Yesterday evening, there was a report of a person walking on Highway 71. In fact, several reports came in until finally a trooper caught up with the individual on the west side of the highway by the Nature Center with the individual given a direct order to stay off the highway.
And just after 11 p.m. there was a call for a car versus train accident. County Road 34, one patient trapped in the vehicle, airlink on standby, blood ready to go. It was reported that the train was still moving and Morrill County deputies were trying to stop the train headed towards Bayard. Patient was reportedly alert and talking. Scanner traffic indicates that she may have run into the train with the train being unaware that it was hit. That's why it continued on. Damage was found on the rear south side of a rail car. One female patient in her 40's was taken to Regional West Medical Center.

On Monday, Bayard Public Schools let folks know that they would be participating in acollaborative training exercise with local law enforcement agencies that afternoon from12:30 to 4:00 pm. The training involved sensitive school safety protocols and for that reason, the public was respectfully asked to refrain from coming to the school during this time. The school's post continued, 'this notice is provided to assure the public that there is no threat or safety concern.' To our knowledge, there was no prior press release and we were not notified of this incident. We understand the public's frustration in not knowing ahead of time. This was only a training exercise.
On Sunday around 8pm, the Scottsbluff Fire Department was dispatched to an open field fire north of Chili's for vegetation that was a flame. Crews arrived on seeing a short time later and extinguished the small fire. Through the investigation process, they determined the fire started in an above ground manhole and was suspicious in nature. The incident is under investigation by the Scottsbluff Police Department.
On Tuesday after 3pm in Scottsbuf, there was an unattended burn reported at 3122 East 28th Street. And speaking of the fire marshal, he is out and about. Up in Hemingford, he noticed that a railroad crossing arm was in the road and called that into the Comm Center where that was taken care of. You may have seen that post on Panhandle Scanner.
Around 8:30 pm last night, there was a possible assault. A male around 62 years old was reportedly shoved into a wall. He was transported to regional West Medical Center.

In other scanner traffic, there was an overdue party from Lincoln that was supposed to be back in Scott's Bluff, reported to the state patrol. Trooper 174 found that subject, and asked dispatch to advise the niece that everything was 10-4. The man reported that he was having some diabetic issues but was getting that taken care of, and heading back to Scottsbluff.

Monday, January 1, 2026 6:30 p.m.
(SUTHERLAND, Neb.) -- A high-speed pursuit occurred on I-80 involving the Nebraska State Patrol chasing a vehicle, reportedly a black SUV, from Colorado. During the pursuit, one suspect was held at gunpoint while another, described as a six-foot-tall black man, fled into a field. Radio communications were transferred to secure channels, and it was later confirmed that after an hour of search, the suspect was found and arrested.
The passenger of the vehicle surrendered immediately and was not arrested but was cited instead. Found inside the vehicle were mushrooms, THC edibles, alcohol, and drug paraphernalia. The driver did not possess a valid license and faced multiple charges including reckless driving, evading arrest, and possession-related offenses.
The suspect was booked into the Lincoln County Jail in North Platte, Nebraska on a myriad of charges.

(NORTH PLATTE, Neb.) — Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol have arrested one person after a pursuit and search in western Nebraska.


At approximately 6:30 p.m. MT Thursday, a trooper observed an Infinity Q50 traveling over 100 miles per hour on Interstate 80 near Big Springs. The trooper attempted a traffic stop, but the driver refused to yield and fled eastbound on I-80. The trooper initiated a pursuit.


During the pursuit, the suspect vehicle reached speeds of 140 miles per hour and passed vehicles on the shoulder. Near Sutherland, at mile marker 155, the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office successfully deployed spike strips to slow the vehicle. The vehicle exited I-80 at the Sutherland interchange and came to a stop on Highway 25. The driver fled on foot and the passenger immediately surrendered.


Troopers and Lincoln County Deputies searched the area for approximately one hour until the driver was located and taken into custody without further incident. A search of the vehicle revealed psilocybin mushrooms, THC edibles, drug paraphernalia, and a bottle of alcohol.


The driver, an 18-year-old male from Colorado, was lodged in Lincoln County Jail for flight to avoid arrest, resisting arrest, possession of a controlled substance, no operator’s license, and other charges. The passenger, also an 18-year-old male from Colorado, was cited for minor in possession of alcohol and possession of drug paraphernalia.
