A Gothenburg man has been jailed on suspicion of a theft in Lincoln County.

On April 25, 2013, Deputies with Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area of Wahlgren Road and Banner Road southeast of Brady.  A victim reported that a trencher he owned was missing parts.  The victim also told Deputies that about 600 feet of spooled wire was also missing.

Deputies located a Nebraska License at the scene of the theft which belonged to 37-year-old Edwin Imler of Gothenburg.  The victim stated that he did not know who Mr. Imler was.

On May 1, the North Platte Police Department arrested Imler on a Dawson County Warrant.

Deputies then conducted an interview with Imler regarding the theft near Brady.  Imler told Investigators that he did not remember taking the items, but did admit he was in the area at the time of the crime.

Deputies found probably cause to arrest Imler and charge him with Felony Theft.

He was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.
