On May 3, 2026, Madison County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a disturbance near 1810 North Airport Road that led to a stabbing.
Around 9:40 p.m., a woman called dispatch saying several people tried to assault her. She also reported that she stabbed one person during the incident.
When deputies and a Nebraska State Patrol trooper arrived, they spoke with the caller near the scene. Other officers went to a nearby residence, where they found signs of a fight in and around a camper, including blood and evidence of a struggle.
Later, Norfolk police found a vehicle connected to the incident at Faith Regional Health Services. The victim, a 36-year-old female from Norfolk, was being treated for two stab wounds to her arms, including a serious cut to one forearm.
Investigators learned that several people had come to the property before the incident. According to statements, a verbal argument turned into a physical fight, during which a knife was used.
Tianna White, 27, of South Dakota, was arrested on charges of first-degree assault and use of a deadly weapon. She was taken to the Madison County Jail.
The incident remains under investigation.

Successful “Put the Phone Away or Pay” Enforcement Campaign

Madison County, Nebraska — The Madison County Sheriff’s Office participated in the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) “Put the Phone Away or Pay” enforcement campaign, conducted from April 9 through April 13, 2026.

During the five-day enforcement period, deputies made a total of 50 traffic contacts, resulting in:

  • 10 citations issued
  • 1 DUI arrest, which escalated to a felony arrest for assault on a law enforcement officer
  • 1 Minor in Possession of Alcohol citation
  • 7 speeding citations
  • 1 reckless driving citation

This campaign, which coincided with the Easter holiday travel period, focused on a combination of increased enforcement and a zero-tolerance approach, along with strong public education efforts emphasizing the dangers of distracted driving.

“Deputies stepped up during their shifts and made an extra effort during this campaign,” said Sheriff Todd Volk. “These efforts will continue to reduce distracted driving and educate the public on the importance of staying focused behind the wheel.”

The Madison County Sheriff’s Office will continue proactive enforcement efforts and will partner with NHTSA again for the upcoming “Make it Click” campaign during the Memorial Day holiday period.
