Nebraska expands methods to locate and collect overdue child support using federal and state resources. The Parent Locator Service aids welfare departments by tracing nonpaying parents, but officials say delays persist and full efficiency will come as systems grow. Nebraska has filed 842 PLS cases since 1976 with 167 unanswered, while county and district clerks push court actions to enforce payments.

Colgrove’s conviction for marijuana possession and a concealed weapon was reversed after officers stopped his car while pursuing different suspects.
