April 23, 2020



Douglas D. Carpenter, 43, of Neligh, was sentenced by the Honorable Donna Taylor in Antelope County Court last Wednesday, April 15, for a crime committed Aug. 31, 2019, in Neligh. Taylor sentenced him to three days in the Antelope County Jail and a $500 fine and taxed $69.22 costs of prosecution.

Carpenter was convicted of a Class 2 misdemeanor, criminal attempt-stalking, after entering a plea deal last month.

Carpenter was arrested by Neligh police and charged with three counts Sept. 1, 2019, Count I, stalking, a Class 1 misdemeanor; Count II, disturbing the peace, a Class 3 misdemeanor; and Count III, resisting arrest, a Class 1 misdemeanor.

Carpenter pleaded no contest to an amended Count I, criminal attempt – stalking, a Class 2 misdemeanor, and Abler dismissed, with prejudice, counts II and III on March 23.

He was represented by Ryan Stover of Norfolk.

Colleen Murphey, 60, of Orchard, pursuant to a plea agreement with Antelope County prosecutor Joe Abler, pleaded guilty to a Class 3 misdemeanor count of reckless driving. In return, Abler dismissed a count of driving under the influence of alcohol, more than .15, with prejudice. Murphey withdrew a motion to suppress evidence.

Taylor sentenced Murphey to nine months’ probation, including related fees totaling $305, a $350 fine, restitution to Burlington Northern Railroad in the amount of $961.53 and $105 costs of prosecution. She was ordered to complete 90 days on the Continuous Alcohol Monitor Program, 30 days immediately, with the remaining 60 days at the direction and discretion of her probation officer. She was ordered to contact the Nebraska Probation office via phone by April 16.

Murphey was arrested Aug. 29, 2019, by an Antelope County officer who responded to a report of a vehicle tire tracks in the area near 515 Ave. Tire tracks in the area indicated the vehicle had traveled some distance on the tracks, according to court documents.

Murphey was represented by Rod Smith of O’Neill.

Taylor fined Danny D. Snyder, 65, of Oakdale $250 and assessed $50 costs for a count of disturbing the peace, a Class 3 misdemeanor committed Dec. 30, 2019. The charge was reduced from third-degree assault, a Class 1 misdemeanor, pursuant to a plea agreement. He was represented by Jeff Doerr of Neligh.

Two 18-year-old St. Paul residents, Mckenna L. Anderson and Tanner Maddox pleaded guilty by waiver to Class 2 misdemeanor counts of fishing without permits. They were each fined $100, assessed $49 costs and required to provide proof of purchasing a permit. Anderson provided proof of a one-day permit purchase, Maddox was notified of the requirement. They were cited March 18 at Grove Lake Wildlife Management Area - Verdigre Creek bridge, near the hatchery.
