MADISON, Neb. (AP) _ Authorities in Madison County are looking for two teens who escaped from a detention facility there. A third teen _ a 14-year-old from the Columbus area _ was apprehended immediately after Thursday night's escape from the Northeast Nebraska Juvenile Detention Center. Sheriff Vern Hjorth says the teens damaged a door in a nonsecure area of the center and escaped. A Madison resident reported his truck stolen early Friday morning, and it is believed that the teens took the vehicle and abandoned it after a pursuit near Walthill.
