Bond conditions include orders to reside at Norfolk mission

 


Two defendants, who were recently arrested on warrants issued Feb. 1, appeared in front of the Honorable James Kube in the Antelope County district courtroom in Neligh last Wednesday morning.

Harley J. Snyder, 21, last known address, Lincoln, and Haiden Sleister, last known address, Oakdale, were both in the custody of Antelope County sheriff Bob Moore. Snyder had turned himself in to Lincoln authorities, while Sleister was arrested at the Madison County Jail when he posted bond on charges alleged there.

Both men requested court-appointed counsel. Brad Ewalt of Norfolk was appointed to represent both.

Kube ordered both to reside at the People’s Mission in Norfolk as a condition of bond. Snyder’s bond is set at $10,000, personal recognizance, while Sleister’s is $5,000, 10% cash.

Probation or post-release supervision revocation hearings are continued to March 27.

Kube reminded the two men that they remain on probation and are compelled to abide by all terms and conditions.

Revocation was requested by Snyder’s probation officer, who indicated her belief he had absconded from probation. On Dec. 21, 2022, the Honorable Mark Johnson sentenced Snyder to a 24-month term of probation for March 21, 2022, break-ins at two Neligh businesses, Neligh Vape Shop and the Fit Stop.

The probation officer also alleged Sleister absconded from post-release supervision, as well as violating supervision rules when he was arrested in another jurisdiction in December. Sleister was sentenced by Kube in February 2023, to one year in the Antelope County Jail, to be followed by an 18-month stint of PRS for a conviction of criminal attempt, possession of a stolen firearm, a Class 3A felony.

Rowdy L. Burke, 52, of Elgin faced Kube for pretrial hearing on a felony charge of driving under revocation, alleged Nov. 14, 2023, in Elgin.

Burke’s attorney Martin Klein of Neligh announced a plea bargain. In exchange for Burke’s guilty plea, Antelope County Attorney Joe Smith agreed not to object to probation, if recommended in a presentence investigation report and additionally, agreed to file no further charges in the case.

Kube ordered a PSI report and set sentencing April 24. Bond, in the amount of $10,000, 10% cash is continued.
