DAILY RECORD POLICY The Press & Dakotan publishes police and sheriff reports as a public service to its readers. It is important to remember that an arrest should not imply guilt and that every person is presumed innocent until proven other- wise. When juveniles are released from jail, it is into the care of a parent or guardian. It is the policy of the Press & Dakotan to publish all names made available in the police and court reports. There are no exceptions. ARRESTS • Nicholas Arneson, 28, Yankton, was arrested Wednesday on a warrant for simple assault. • Roberta Segura, 24, Vermillion, was arrested Wednesday for second- degree petty theft. • Justin Suchanek, 29, Grand Island, Neb., was arrested Wednesday on an out-of-county hold. • Eduardo Saldivar, 27, Tulsa, Okla., was arrested Wednesday on an out-of-county hold. • Robert Taylor, 42, Yankton, was arrested Wednesday for possession of a controlled substance. • Cheyenne WarBonnett, 20, Sioux Falls, was arrested Wednesday on a warrant for possession of marijuana. INCIDENTS • A report was received at 12:40 a.m. Thursday of a burglary in progress in the 1600 block of Picotte. A man was arrested in connection with the incident. CRIME STOPPERS Anyone wishing to report anony- mous information on unlawful activity in the City of Yankton or in Yankton County is encouraged to contact the Crime Stoppers tip line at 665-4440. Nebraskans expect us to do in state government.” The governor did not elabo- rate on which programs he would target for elimination. Heineman noted Nebraska is in better economic shape than most of the country, putting the state in a better position to invest in priorities. “My focus will be on initiatives that further economic growth and that strengthen education,” he said. There have been improve- ments in Nebraska’s business cli- mate, he said, but more work remains to bring jobs and rev- enue to the state. Heineman also said that while Nebraska schools are good, they struggle with an academic achievement gap that must be addressed. His remarks could signal good news for public school officials worried that the state’s budget crunch will mean cuts to state aid for schools. “We face difficult financial challenges, and we will have to make hard decisions about the most important responsibilities of state government,” Heineman said. “Yet, I will advocate that we have an extraordinary potential when it comes to making the strategic investments that will move Nebraska forward.” Heineman’s address kicked off three days of inaugural events across the state. He will attend morning events in Gering and Grand Island on Friday, then he and first lady Sally Ganem will attend an inaugural gala state din- ner in Lincoln that night. They will attend a gala dinner and cele- bration at the Qwest Center in Omaha on Saturday. TAXES From Page 1A opposed and 21 percent unde- cided. About 72 percent of the Democrats who responded favored a ban, with nearly all the rest undecided. Among Republicans, 33 per- cent said they would support a ban, 46 percent were opposed and 21 percent were undecided. Supporters argue that texting drivers are more likely to have accidents. Opponents contend that a ban on texting would be excessive government interfer- ence into people’s rights. A ban on texting while driving failed on a 32-37 vote in the South Dakota House last year, just four votes short of passing. The bill would not have applied to talking on a cell phone, but only to sending and receiving text messages. Senate Republican Leader Russell Olson of Wentworth said he does not support a ban on texting now, but is willing to lis- ten to evidence during the leg- islative session. “I’ll keep an open mind, but right now it isn’t a priority to me,” Olson said. House Democratic Leader Bernie Hunhoff of Yankton said more South Dakota residents will likely embrace a ban on texting while driving as they learn more about it. Public support often grows slowly for traffic safety issues, such as the required use of seat belts, he said. “As much as all of us dislike having government telling us what to do, people move toward the commonsense reality that if we can save some lives with a simple law, then it probably makes sense,” Hunhoff said. TEXTING From Page 1A apparently hit a school nurse, who was treated at the scene. An unarmed security officer was sitting at a desk outside the school’s main offices and saw Butler walking away. Butler point- ed a gun at the officer, who took cover and wasn’t shot. A school resource officer who heard the gunfire called police. The security officer gave police Butler’s name and described his car, and at 1:35 p.m. authorities received a report of a suspicious vehicle about a mile from the school. Officers raced to the car and found Butler inside, dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Authorities also said they believe Butler used a handgun owned by his father. It was proba- bly his father’s service weapon, a .40-caliber semiautomatic pistol that can fire up to 15 rounds. Butler fired seven rounds. Police Chief Alex Hayes said Butler apparently took the Glock from a closet. His father works an evening shift and had been home but left to run errands. People in the school office ini- tially did not realize the first three shots were from a gun because there had been an earlier birthday party. They thought the noise was from balloons popping. The chaos unfolded on the school’s first day back in session after the holiday break. Kaspar, 58, died Wednesday evening. Case, 45, was hospitalized in serious but stable condition. Sometime after he was escort- ed out of the building, Butler post- ed a rambling message on Facebook about his unhappiness with his new school, but he didn’t supply many details. Instead, the expletive-laced note predicted Butler’s friends would hear about “evil things” he did. He wrote that the Omaha school was worse than his previ- ous one, and that the new city had changed him. He apologized and said he wanted people to remem- ber him for who he was before affecting “the lives of the families I ruined.” The post ended with “goodbye.” A former classmate of Butler’s from Lincoln confirmed the Facebook post to The Associated Press and provided AP with a copy of it.
