HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) – A 22-year-old Hastings man has taken a plea deal in a robbery case.
Andrew Lyle had been accused of attempted murder, robbery and home invasion. The charges stemmed from a robbery at a bank night deposit and a home invasion on May 9.
Lyle pleaded no contest to three counts of robbery, one of discharging a firearm and one of possession of a firearm by a felon. In exchange, prosecutors dropped charges of attempted murder, use of a firearm for a felony and two counts of terroristic threats.
Sentencing is set for April 9.
Lyle’s cousin, Tyrell Lyle, has been given 11-to-18 years in prison for his role in the Hastings robberies.
