Residents of any city, here in Nebraska and across the country, trust their police force to protect them from potential harm. However, police officers are human, and like anyone else, they can occasionally make serious errors in judgment. Sometimes, such public authorities commit the same crimes that they are supposed to prevent others from committing. Unfortunately, this seems to be the case in what authorities say was a drunk driving incident involving a former Lincoln police officer.
Common asset division issues in Nebraska
One of the most stressful aspects of going through a divorce in Nebraska can often relate to the process of dividing assets.

Sometimes, friends get together and conjure a plan to make some money quickly and easily.

However, in these types of situations, a sense of misplaced loyalty will often just lead to further trouble for all involved parties. This may be what happened following an incident in which two Nebraska men were arrested and are facing drug charges, and a woman now also faces serious charges for allegedly concealing evidence related to the case.

It also undermines the social contract of good behavior that we all expect when we live in polite society.
