Custer County Court was in session on Monday, January 27, with Judge Tami Schendt presiding.
Aylissia L. Rodriguez, age 19 of Kearney, appeared for a preliminary hearing on criminal charges filed in November of 2024. The charges stem from an October 2, 2024 incident involving Carsen Wilson who allegedly used a vehicle to follow a Broken Bow woman and her friend around the Merna area. Wilson also allegedly fired three shots at the woman’s car and drove off toward Broken Bow. The Custer County Sheriff’s Department responded to a 911 call, pulled over the reported vehicle on Highway 2 northwest of Broken Bow, and found Wilson sitting in the driver’s seat and a female passenger, Ms. Rodriguez, in the passenger’s seat. Law enforcement also determined that the car was registered to Ms. Rodriguez.
After hearing testimony about the October 2nd incident and follow-up investigation from Custer County Deputy Sarah Horn, Judge Schendt dismissed nine of the charges against Ms. Rodriguez for insufficient evidence. However, the defendant continues to face the following charges: 1st degree assault, a Class IIA felony; 1st degree domestic assault, a Class IIIA felony; two counts of terroristic threats, both Class IIIA felonies; and two counts of stalking, Class IIIA felonies. The case was bound over to Custer County District Court for a hearing on February 20th at 9:30 a.m.
