OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The commander of the Omaha crime scene investigations unit is facing federal and state charges over accusations that he planted evidence in the car of two wrongly accused suspects in a Nebraska couple’s murder.

U.S. Attorney Joe Stecher said Thursday that David Kofoed (COH’-fohde) has been charged in a federal indictment with deprivation of rights and other counts.

State prosecutors charged Kofoed a day earlier with evidence tampering in the investigation of Wayne and Sharmon Stock’s shooting deaths.

Kofoed says he is innocent.

Prosecutors say Kofoed planted Wayne Stock’s blood in a car believed to have been used by the initial suspects. Those men, Matthew Sampson and Nicholas Livers, were cleared after spending months in jail.

Two other people were later charged and convicted of killing the Stocks.

I bet Kofoed had no malice in mind whatsoever. I think he's just so amped up about summer 7 on 7 drills in Lincoln that he can't do his job properly. I'll probably face the same trials when I get to Brownsville. Of course, Kofoed could have been distracted by the annoucement that Nebraska will no longer allow booze in its skyboxes.

NU Athletic Director Tom Osborne on Wednesday confirmed that, in light of an alcohol poisoning case at a game last fall, skybox holders are being told stricter enforcement of the law banning alcohol on campus is coming.

At a home game last October, campus police called emergency medical personnel to treat an inebriated skybox occupant.

"The person was in pretty bad shape," Osborne said.

Larry the Cable guy isn't going to be happy when he can't get er done with some Jack Daniels at the Husker game.
