Stanton man arraigned on 2020 charge

Edward D. Lundstrom, 65, of Stanton appeared in front of the Honorable Donna Taylor in the Antelope County Court in Neligh on Nov. 2, for arraignment on allegations of a two-year old crime.

He is charged with a Class 2 misdemeanor charge, second-degree trespassing, alleged Nov. 18, 2020. If convicted, Lundstrom faces up to a $500 fine and/or up to 90 days in jail. He pleaded not guilty and requested jury trial. Pretrial hearing is set Dec. 7. Bond posted Oct. 17, in the amount of $1,500, 10% cash is continued.

Lundstrom had failed to appear for arraignment Dec. 16, 2020, and again Jan. 6, 2021. A warrant issued March 2, 2021, was served Oct. 17 this year by the Stanton County sheriff’s office.

Taylor noted no amended complaint had been filed charging Lundstrom with failure to appear.

“Not yet your honor,” Antelope County Attorney Joe Abler replied.

Lundstrom is represented by Martin Klein of Neligh.

Maverick Short, 18, of Oakdale faced Taylor for arraignment on two counts, Count I, driving under the influence of alcohol (high test), a Class W misdemeanor, and MIP, a Class 3 misdemeanor, both alleged Oct. 1. The penalty for conviction of Count I is a $500 fine, seven to 60 days incarceration and one-year revocation of his driver’s license. Taylor told Short, even if probation is ordered there would be a $500 fine and two days in jail. Count II carries a penalty of up to a $500 fine and/or 90 days in jail.

Short pleaded not guilty to both counts and requested jury trial. Pretrial conference is set Dec. 7. A $1,500 personal recognizance bond is continued.

Short is represented by Klein.

Daniel C. Hohrein, 45, of Oakdale faced Taylor for a violation of probation hearing. Hohrein, who was placed on probation Feb. 2 for a DUI conviction, waived his right to counsel and admitted violating terms of probation by consuming alcohol Oct. 20, when his continuous alcohol monitor registered .071.

Taylor adjudged him guilty of the violation, ordered an update letter from his probation officer and set the matter for sentencing Nov. 16. She noted he would have completed probation the previous day before she reminded him that he remained on probation.

Two accused individuals failed to appear for arraignment. Taylor ruled the county attorney may file motions, affidavits and order for arrest warrants.

Trey M. Wiliams, 21, failed to appear on an MIP charge. Williams was cited by a Nebraska State Patrol officer Sept. 9 on Highway 20, east of Brunswick.

Knudson also failed to appear Oct. 19. Knudson was cited Sept. 16 by an Antelope County deputy on Highway 20, east of Brunswick.
