County Judge Donna Taylor ordered warrants for the arrest of two defendants who failed to appear in the Antelope County courtroom recently.

Tori A. Wooters, 26, of Albion again failed to appear for arraignment on counts alleged Jan. 19, including a fifth count in an amended complaint filed Feb. 14 by Antelope County Attorney Joe Abler. She is now charged with possession of methamphetamine and tampering with physical evidence, Class 4 felonies; driving under the influence of drugs and refusal to submit to a chemical test, Class W misdemeanors; and possession of drug paraphernalia, an infraction. Her court-appointed attorney, Melissa Figueroa, told Taylor she had verified her client was in custody in Madison County on Feb. 2, when she also failed to appear. Taylor signed a warrant for Wooters’ arrest Feb. 17, setting a new bond of $10,000, 10% cash.

Wooters was arrested Jan. 19, southeast of Neligh on Highway 275, by a Nebraska State Patrol officer after reports and his observance of erratic driving. She was released on 10% of a $1,500 bond Jan. 22. Abler filed a motion for forfeiture of that bond Feb. 8.

Wooters had similar recent warrants issued in Platte and Madison counties, where she is also accused of failing to appear.

Anthony Williams, 30, of Wayne failed to appear for sentencing on his conviction of third-degree assault and disturbing the peace, committed June 27, 2021, at a Clearwater concert. Taylor signed a bench warrant Feb. 17. Taylor ordered defendant to be held without bond, when he is arrested. Bond posted June 30, 2021, in the amount of $4,000, 10% cash, is subject to forfeiture. Williams is represented by Figueroa.
