A 48-year-old Kearney man was charged Thursday after investigators with the Lincoln-Lancaster County Narcotics Task Force found nearly 200 grams of methamphetamine on him, according to court documents. Aaron Burkholder was charged with possession of more than 140 grams of meth, possession of money while violating drug laws and no drug tax stamp. Task force investigators were conducting surveillance in the 3000 block of Q Street when they noticed a Dodge Caliber driven by Burkholder arrive. According to the probable cause affidavit, Burkholder exited the car and entered a nearby residence. Police knew Burkholder had an outstanding warrant for violating probation. After a short time inside the residence, Burkholder left. Investigators tried to approach him, but he began to run on foot through the backyards of surrounding houses, the affidavit said.

Tech billionaire and the newly appointed head of the US Department of Government Efficiency has called for a - in Britain. has endorsed a petition that calls for a new general election just months after the new cabinet moved in because of “going back on its promises”. The petition, which was given a X promotional boost by Musk on Sunday night, has gained more than 2 million signatures since it was created at the end of last week. It’s the latest red-flag-to-a-bull by the Space X founder, who has been coming for Sir Keir since he became PM. Showing support for the petition at the one million signature mark, Musk, owner of X, took to his social media platform to slag off the PM to his 206 million followers. He wrote: “The people of Britain have had enough of a tyrannical police state.” Musk’s comments followed his criticism of Tommy Robinson’s imprisonment. The Right wing extremist was jailed for 18 month for contempt of court in October, after he repeated false claims against a Syrian refugee. Musk called the UK a “tyrannical police state” when the petition clocked a million signatures, and said that “the people of Britain have had enough”. And while Musk has no shortage of supporters, it appears that at least some Brits have had enough of the American trying to stir the pot. “Right-wing oligarch Elon Musk is now trying to interfere in UK politics after buying the US election. He’s a threat to democracy everywhere. He’s now acting like trolls signing some online petition reflects Britain, despite Labour winning a few months ago in a landslide.” exclaimed on X user. Another said: “I genuinely hate Keir Starmer with every fibre of my being, but make no mistake, Musk is a hell of a lot worse.” A third person wrote: “I’m no fan of Keir Starmer but the way the right wing, backed and motivated by people like Musk, refuse to accept democracy should be a concern to everyone.” The signatories have to say they are UK citizens or residents and provide an email and postcode. But there is no other verification - risking the chance some of the signatories may actually be based abroad.
