When troopers aren't busy or active with traffic stops or other emergency situations, they take on the role of investigators, like 771 who was checking ice fishermen on Friday, while 769 was out with two hunters south of Henry, and 290 was assisting SBPD with a hit and run accident in Scottsbluff.
(CHEYENNE COUNTY, Neb.) -- On Friday, scanner traffic also indicated two males talking about going on a booze cruise at a party and who were traveling, possibly 10-47, or drunk driving with an infant in the vehicle in their 2014 Chevy Cruz, westbound on Link 17J. It was unknown if they turned towards Sidney or Bridgeport, and no further traffic was heard on this incident. We're hoping that means they made it home safely. A reminder, please, never drink and drive, especially with children in the vehicle.
(SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb.) -- On Saturday, a rollover accident was reported on County Road 19 in Experiment Farm Road, single occupant who was up and out of the vehicle and called his boss to report the accident before calling 911. The patient refused transport to the hospital.
(SIDNEY, Neb) -- It is with heavy hearts that the Sidney Police Department and the Cheyenne County Sheriff's Office are reporting that the body of Kara Bancroft-Westman, the woman who was missing from Sidney, was discovered at approximately 11 am on January 25th. If you have any information about this case, please contact the Sidney Police Department or the Cheyenne County Sheriff's Office. Our prayers and deepest condolences go out to the family and loved ones during this time. For more missing cases, visit PanhandleScanner.com and click on Missing under the News tab.
