Here are some highlights from Lincoln County District Court action:

Bradley Clark entered a guilty plea to a burglary charge.  Clark is accused of stealing items from a local salvage yard.

Clark entered the plea after reaching a plea deal with prosecutors.  In exchange for the guilty plea, the County Attorney dropped a conditional release violation against Clark.

Authorities say Clark stole metals from the Regional Recycling Center in October, then tried to sell the product to North Platte Metals.

Judge Richard Birch sustained Deputy County Attorney Jennifer Wellan’s request to reinstate Clark’s bond at $25,000.

A pre-sentence investigation was ordered and sentencing was set for May 6.

Clark currently has a pending case for Possession of Methamphetamine.  He has pleaded not guilty to that charge.

 

Troy Culpepper, 26, was convicted of being a Felon in Possession of a Firearm.

Culpepper entered a no contest plea to the charge after prosecutors agreed to drop charges of Burglary and Possession of Stolen Property.

Police discovered a knife and the stolen firearm in Culpepper’s vehicle on September 4.

He is also a suspect in an August 29 firearm burglary where guns and cash were stolen from a residence.

Judge Donald Rowlands ordered a pre-sentence investigation and set sentencing for May 6.

 

 

 

Eric Humphrey, 29, was convicted of two counts of child sexual assault after pleading no contest to the charges.

Humphrey and his roommate Paul Timmer were arrested last March after a teenage girl told authorities that she had had sex with Timmer at the home the two men lived in.  She alleged that Humphrey had also tried to have sex with her.

Timmer’s wife Kelly was also charged in the case, and was sentenced to probation.

Timmer is currently on the run and is wanted by the North Platte Police Department.

Humphrey’s sentencing was set for May 6.

 

 

John Barr, 30, was convicted of Attempted Sexual Assault of a Child and Assault of a Confined Person.

Police allege that Barr assaulted a girl who had a sleepover with his stepdaughter.  Court records say Barr inappropriately touched the girl and attempted to remove her pants.

Barr reached a plea agreement with prosecutors that resulted in charges of Sexual Assault of a Child and Aggravated assault being dropped.

The Assault on a Confined Person charge was filed after Barr and another inmate, Derek Thompson, got into a fight at the Lincoln County Detention Center.

Judge Richard Birch ordered a pre-sentence investigation a set sentencing for May 6.
