NEBRASKA CITY – In recent Otoe County cases, the court  passed sentences for burglary, resisting arrest and domestic assault.

Matthew Parsons, 26, of Nebraska City was sentenced to 337 days in jail for burglary on March 5.

A Fourth Street resident told police someone had been in his garage. Parsons was sentenced to 60 days for trespassing in December and 90 days for theft in October of 2019.

Brandon Reyes, 27, of Auburn was sentenced to 12 months probation and a $500 fine for resisting arrest on New Year’s Day 2020.

Nebraska City police report that a car was parked on the railroad tracks on 10th Street and Ofc. Ben Murry put the transmission in park when he arrived.

A woman called 911 saying she had escaped Cary after an assault on a county road.

In other action, an arrest warrant was issued in October for 55-year-old Roger Sterling of Nebraska City after he failed to appear in Otoe County on possession of methamphetamine charge.

He also failed to appear in February and June for court hearings. He is awaiting trial on allegations that officers found 10 grams of meth in his residence during a warrant search.
