NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) — A 25-year-old North Platte man who stabbed another man to death has been given one to five years in

prison.

Nathaniel Polanco pleaded guilty in March to a felony count of attempted assault. In exchange, prosecutors reduced the charge from
manslaughter and dropped a weapons charge.

Local media that at Polanco’s sentencing on Monday, he apologized for causing the death of 24-year-old Michael Fernau (FUR’-now) on Oct. 22.

Fernau was stabbed at his house and died at a hospital. Police say the two men had been arguing and that Polanco “just snapped.”
