A Lincoln County District Court judge has dismissed charges against a former Fairbury police officer accused of stealing a patrol car and leading law enforcement on a pursuit.
Judge Donald Rowlands signed the dismissal order on Tuesday for the case against 40-year-old Stanly Colby.
Colby was accused of stealing a Fairbury police car and leading other officers on a chase in September.
Police say when they arrested Colby south of North Platte, he was still in uniform. Rowlands ordered a mental health evaluation, which was conducted at the Lincoln Regional Center in October.
Judge Rowlands said only that he was dismissing the case “in the interest of justice.”
