BASSETT, Neb. (AP) - A rookie sheriff's deputy was arrested in connection with a school shooting threat that led to public school lockdowns in three counties earlier this week, officials said Friday.
The Nebraska State Patrol said Ivan D. Young, 41, of Beatrice, was being held in the Rock County Jail. Patrol spokeswoman Deb Collins did not say what led to Young's arrest but said he had worked as a deputy in Holt County since August.
"No matter whether you are a cop, a gas station attendant or anyone, you have to be responsible for your actions," Holt County Sheriff Bruce Theye said. "And he will be."
