(402)The 411 Where you live what you need to know TREND WATCH (MONDAYS) By LORI PILGER Lincoln Journal Star Thomas Epperson got probation Thursday for drunkenly slapping away the hands of a police officer who was working off-duty as a security guard at a Lin- coln hospital. It was a rare chance, given 25-year history of alcohol-fueled brushes with the law that included six DUIs, at least four re- sisting arrest charges and two convictions for fleeing to avoid arrest. And it went against Dep- uty Lancaster County At- torney Nick ar- gument that he get prison time. While he conceded that what Epperson did Dec.

7 cause serious injury, Freeman said assaulting an officer is a significant offense. the potential harm that needs to be he said. Deputy Public Defender Tim Eppler argued for pro- bation, saying alcohol is demon. When he drinks, he becomes vio- lent. But in treatment trying to deal with his ad- diction, Eppler said, and probation will help him get to the other side of it.

knows this has to Eppler said. Epperson apologized for what happened and said been challenged with alcohol addiction his entire life, but he had thought he was making progress the last time. willing to do whatever it he said. On Dec. 7, Epperson was drunk and looking for a ride home when he walked into the ER at Bryan West Campus.

Police say he be- came enraged when the nurse told him a cab would be there in 15 minutes and started pounding on a glass partition. He slapped away the arms of an off-duty offi- cer working security who told him he needed to leave. Then he left on his own. Eppler said Epperson ad- mits he did that. A week after the incident, he said, Epperson himself was the victim of an assault at an hands.

Eppler said police picked up Epperson early Dec. 13 when they stopped a drunk driver and tried to talk to Epperson, his passenger, at the jail about what hap- pened at the hospital. Officer Riley Hellings said Epperson stood up and squared off with her. He calm down or sit down, and instead clenched his fists and started to pace, police say in court records. When Epperson took two steps toward three officers, they immediately slammed him to the ground, Eppler said.

Police say he fought with them on the floor. Handcuffed, shoved into a cell and unable to catch himself, he hit his head on the wall, leaving a blood stain on it and falling to the floor, Eppler said. He had to be taken to the hospital for treatment, and Internal Affairs ultimately determined that Officer John McGahan had used excessive force. McGahan told investiga- tors he pushed the inmate because he was afraid turn and continue fighting. He resigned in February before facing a disciplinary hearing.

He charged. County Attorney Joe Kelly said his office deter- mined there was no evi- dence to support a criminal charge against McGahan or reason to believe he went beyond the use of force au- thorized by statute. Whether he went beyond agency protocol was a dif- ferent question, he said. evidence showed a great deal of yelling, threat- ening language and body language from the stop in the street, to the hospital, to the Kelly said of Epperson. In court, District Judge Stephanie Stacy said no doubt Epperson is an al- coholic who gets belligerent when he drinks.

But shown a willingness and desire to change his behav- ior, she said. Stacy said already served 188 days, the equiv- alence of a one-year jail sentence, so she gave him two years of probation, plus 100 hours of community service working with law enforcement or hospitals. you fail, going to prison, no doubt about she said.

Someone saw the suspect throw a safe in a trash can at Bethany Park about 1:30 Thursday morning and called police, cer Katie Flood said.

Investigators found the safe and docu- ments for Heartland Scuba Center, 2315 N. Cotner Blvd. At the business a mile north of the park, they discovered the front glass door shattered, Flood said. The burglar threw a cement block through the glass door and stole $9,200 in goods, including scuba gear, she said. Someone broke into Cafe, 1300 N.

66th House, 1409 N. Cotner A-1 Linoleum Carpet, 1303 N. Cotner and Salon Monet, 1537 N. Cotner earlier in the week. In all four cases, Flood said, the burglar or burglars threw a rock or cinder block through glass front doors to get inside.

Teen crashes pickup after joyride A 14-year-old boy stayed the night at a house in Firth, and when he woke up Wednesday morning, everyone was still asleep, the Lancaster County Chief Deputy Sheriff said. That was boring, so he took a 2006 GMC Canyon pickup truck that belonged to a relative of the friend, picked up two other teenagers and went joyriding for more than four hours, Chief Deputy Jeff Bliemeister said. The 14-year-old eventually crashed the pickup just east of Firth a little before 1 in the afternoon, Bliemeister said. No one was hurt, but a deputy cited the boy on suspicion of driving carelessly, with- out a license and without permission from the owner.
