SIDNEY, Neb. (AP) — A Sidney man accused of killing his former father-in-law is scheduled to be sentenced next month.

Online court records say a June 17 hearing is set for 24-year-old Theodore Medina. On Tuesday he pleaded no contest to attempted assault. Prosecutors had lowered the charge and dropped a manslaughter charge in exchange for Medina’s plea.

Cheyenne County authorities say officers had been sent to a Sidney home after someone reported a fight there between Medina and Ernie Ward. Court documents say Medina lived in the 50-year-old Ward’s house despite no longer being married to one of Ward’s daughters.

Officers have said that when they arrived Medina was giving Ward CPR. Medina said Ward’s head was injured when he picked up Ward and threw him down.
