atm_problemWAYNE, Neb. (AP) — Two men accused of stealing an ATM from a northeast Nebraska bank have taken deals and pleaded guilty.

A sentencing hearing is scheduled on Nov. 4 for 22-year-old Cody Murphree and 23-year-old Jacob Christiansen, both of Norfolk. Prosecutors dropped criminal mischief charges in exchange for the two men’s guilty pleas to theft charges.

A third man charged in the June 23 theft from Elkhorn Valley Bank & Trust in Hoskins pleaded not guilty on Wednesday. The trial of 24-year-old David Rhodes is scheduled to begin Dec. 8 in Wayne County District Court in Wayne.

The Nebraska State Patrol says the ATM was taken from the vestibule of the bank near the bank lobby.
