Monday Feb 23 2026 - Scanner News

Well, let's start off with some positive news. How about a happy birthday? Happy 89th birthday to Nebraska football legendary coach and Nebraska Congressman Tom Osborne. Born February 23, 1937 in Hastings, Nebraska, Osborne's impact goes far beyond the football field shaping generations of Huskers and leaving a legacy that still defines the state today. Help us all say happy birthday to coach Tom Osborne. You obviously know that we do the news, but we also have two sections on our news page that are really helpful to the community. We have a Look Who's Hiring section that is free to any employers who wish to post, as well as a Community Calendar. Again, that is also free. If you have either a hiring post or a calendar announcement, please feel free to tag @PanhandleScanner or send it to us directly at [email protected].  As usual, over the weekend, Scanner traffic indicated a lot of different incidents, including arrests, traffic stops with citations and just warnings, probable cause searches, a structure fire and several motor vehicle accidents.   Last evening, one particular motor vehicle accident occurred around West Overland and Avenue I in Scottsbluff. Initially reported by bystanders as a fatality accident, we're praying that that was not the case. We'll have more details on that accident today on Panhandle Scanner.
