Custer County Court was in session on Monday, October 6th with Judge Tami Schendt presiding.
Christopher E. Muggy, age 52 of Broken Bow, appeared for a preliminary hearing in his case. On September 23rd, Muggy was charged with 3rd degree domestic assault, a Class IIIA felony. He waived his right to a preliminary hearing and Judge Schendt bound the case over to Custer County District Court where he will appear on October 16th. Muggy’s bond remained at $5,000 with a 10% privilege and he was returned to the custody of the Custer County Sheriff.
Also appearing in court was Preston J. Foster, age 38 of Broken Bow. Under a plea agreement reached with the State, Foster entered a plea of no contest to one count of DUI-3rd offense, a Class W misdemeanor. In accordance with the plea agreement, three other counts were dismissed. In February of this year, the defendant was charged with four counts, including a felony charge of DUI-3rd offense. Judge Schendt found Foster guilty of the amended charge and sentencing was set for November 3rd.
