FALLS CITY - Buddy Graves, 39, of Salem was sentenced to 18 months probation for possession of methamphetamine and theft in June of 2021.

Graves was arrested after the Richardson County K9 Unit served a search warrant at a Church Street residence in Salem. A sheriff’s office Facebook post says methamphetamine, a firearm reported stolen in New Mexico in 2012 and a stolen scooter were found.

 

Charges of possession of a firearm against Graves were dismissed. Graves was sentenced to probation for the Honda SA50P scooter.

Also arrested following the Salem search were Jessette Gifford, 38, of Salem and Douglas Christensen, 54, of Beatrice. Gifford was sentenced last October to 120 days in jail for attempted possession and Christensen was sentenced in April to 18 months probation.
