OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A northeast Nebraska man has been given three years of probation for helping to fake a robbery.

29-year-old Steven Schulze was sentenced Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Omaha. He was convicted of helping Michael Bamberry pretend to hold up the Pony Express convenience store in Rosalie. The store’s owned by the Winnebago Tribe.

Investigators say Bamberry used a toy gun to menace Schulze, who was a clerk at the store. Schulze gave Bamberry $907 from the register.

Bamberry is scheduled to be sentenced Thursday.
