Fernau bound over to district court

The case of a Clearwater teenager, who is accused of making terroristic threats last fall regarding a Summerland Public School bus, has been bound over to Antelope County district court.

Koda K. Fernau, 18, of Clearwater waived his right to preliminary hearing, on a Class 3A felony count of making terroristic threats, when he appeared in front of the Honorable Donna Taylor on Dec. 28. Two misdemeanor counts of disturbing the peace were dismissed, without prejudice, by prosecutor Joe Smith.

Fernau’s $25,000, 10% cash, bond is continued. He was remanded to the custody of Antelope County sheriff Bob Moore, pending posting of bond.

Fernau is represented by Ryan Stover of Norfolk.

Fernau’s charges stem from actions allegedly committed in September. Allegedly, while riding on a Summerland bus Sept. 2, he commented about purchasing a firearm and, while at work in Neligh on Sept. 9, he allegedly threatened to shoot up a Summerland bus.
