A Chadron woman will stand trial during the December jury term of Dawes County District Court for allegedly slashing 3 of her family members with a box cutter during last month’s Fur Trade Days celebration.

The case of 47-year old Sherlynn Lame had been bound over on 3 counts of 2nd degree assault and 3 counts of the use of a deadly weapon in the commission of a felony following a preliminary hearing last month in County Court and formally entered pleas of not guilty in District Court on Tuesday.

Lame was arrested early on the morning of July 13th and remains in the Dawes County jail on $50,000 bond. Her pre-trial conference is scheduled for November 11th.

Court documents show Lame and her extended family were together when a disagreement escalated and she allegedly slashed 3 male family members with a box cutter. Two were taken by ambulance to the hospital, where they were treated and released.
