CENTRAL CITY, Neb. (AP) — An October trial has been scheduled for a 48-year-old Central City man charged with attempted murder and other crimes.

Ricky Clauff pleaded not guilty on Monday in Merrick County District Court to five felony and seven misdemeanor counts. His trial is set to begin Oct. 13.

The charges stem from an April 1 incident in Clarks. Court documents say Clauff threatened to kill his niece’s boyfriend, chasing the man around town on foot and trying to run him over in a car.
