Kegan J. McAllister, 19, of Tilden faced the Honorable Donna Taylor in the Antelope County courtroom in Neligh on Dec. 6 for pretrial hearing on a Class 1 misdemeanor.

A plea agreement was announced. McAllister pleaded guilty, as charged, to a count of third-degree domestic assault committed July 6. In return, Antelope County Attorney Joe Smith agreed to file no additional charges related to the incident and will make no recommendation at sentencing.

Carney informed the judge that McAllister is set for sentencing in Madison County district court Feb. 23, with a presentence investigation report ordered there.

Taylor set sentencing Feb. 7 and ordered a predisposition investigation report.

Ronald Murray faced Taylor for pretrial hearing. Antelope County public defender Pat Carney said the case is close to resolution, the defendant’s driver’s license had been reinstated but he was still working on obtaining an SR22, a state form verifying he has the minimum amount of insurance.

Carney requested a second bond posted by his client in August after he was arrested for failure to appear, be refunded due to Murray being incarcerated in another county at the time. Taylor ordered the balance of that bond held by the county be refunded to Murray. She continued the hearing to Jan. 17. A $1,500 personal recognizance bond, filed in April, is continued.

Murray was cited May 5, 2022, by an Antelope County deputy, in Oakdale, for three counts, no proof of financial responsibility, no registration and no operator’s license.

Pretrial hearings were continued for two defendants:

• Shane Sleister, to Jan. 3 on two counts, resisting arrest, a Class 1 misdemeanor; and Count II, DUS, a Class 3 misdemeanor; $4,000, 10% bond continued; and

• Kristopher Dorrie, 39, of Albion, to Jan. 3 on a count of third-degree assault, alleged Aug. 22.

Two defendants chose to dispose of their charges by waiver.

Andrew D. Raduechel, 45, of Omaha was fined $100 and taxed $49 costs for violating deer-hunting regulations (incorrect unit for the permit). He was cited Nov. 11, near 866 Road/520 Avenue, by a Nebraska Game and Parks Commission officer. The officer noted warnings were given for failure to cancel two permits.

Warren J. Risinger, 75, of Orchard was fined $100 and taxed $49 costs for a Class 2 misdemeanor violation of deer-hunting regulations (borrowing permit).
