HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) – A 21-year-old Omaha man has made a deal with prosecutors and pleaded no contest to four charges.
Tyrell Lyle made his pleas Wednesday to three counts of robbery and one firearms charge. In exchange for the pleas, prosecutors dropped charges of attempted second-degree murder, use of a deadly weapon and two counts of terroristic threats.
Hastings authorities say Lyle and his cousin, Andrew Lyle, of Hastings, robbed two men on May 9 as they tried to make a night deposit at the Five Points Bank branch. Authorities say that on the same night, the cousins entered a Hastings home, demanded money from the residents and fired shots at one of the residents when he ran.
Andrew Lyle pleaded not guilty on Sept. 12 and is scheduled for trial in January.
