Fulgium, 35, of Conroe, Texas, appeared in front of the Honorable Donna Taylor in the Antelope County courtroom last Wednesday, Sept. 1, for further arraignment on a Class 1 misdemeanor count of third-degree domestic assault, alleged July 16 in Neligh. He requested court-appointed counsel, telling Taylor, although he had indicated at his first appearance that he would hire his own attorney, he could not afford one because he was paying double rent. Taylor appointed Martin Klein of Neligh and continued arraignment to Oct. 6. Bond, posted July 17, in the amount of $10,000, 10% cash, is continued as well.

Fulgium requested a condition of his bond to have no contact with his wife be lifted. Taylor told him to consult his attorney.

If convicted of Count I, Rosberg faces a potential fine up to $500 and/or seven to 60 days in jail, as well as a six-month revocation of his driver’s license. Count 2 is a waiverable offense and carries a recommended $25 fine. Rosberg pleaded not guilty to both counts and requested jury trial. Pretrial hearing is set Oct. 20.
