MCCOOK, Neb. (AP) – A judge has fined a McCook city councilman $150 for disturbing the peace.
Judge Anne Paine warned Councilman Aaron Kircher that repeat offenses could lead to higher fines and even jail.
The case against Kircher began around 1:30 a.m. on July 31 when a neighbor called police to complain about a noisy party.
Three McCook police officers who testified during Kircher’s trial last week said they’ve responded to similar complaints about noisy parties at Kircher’s home.
Kircher apologized during the trial, saying he was not trying to defy the law or disturb anyone’s peace.
