Omaha man charge for rifle after 'high risk' stop

PLATTSMOUTH – An Omaha man is charged in Cass County after a report of shots fired at the Rakes Creek Wildlife Management Area while it was occupied by a hunter in a tree stand.

Cass County deputies responded after the hunter told a 911 dispatcher that he was under fire. He said four men got into a van and waived their guns at him as they drove away.

A sheriff’s deputy made a traffic stop of a van and says a loaded rifle was found.

Zeferino Ventura, 30, is charged with possession of  firearm by a prohibited person on Nov. 22.
