Plea in suicide case: Not guilty

LINCOLN (AP) — A 28-year-old Lincoln man accused of helping a friend commit suicide has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder.

Dallas Huston entered his plea this week in Lancaster County District Court.

Huston called police Sept. 16 to tell them he found the body of his 22-year-old roommate, who had plastic wrap around his head.

Autopsy results showed the man died of asphyxiation. Toxicology reports showed he had also taken sleeping pills.

Police say Huston told others about the death and that he helped.

Huston is due back in court in February.
