Three cases moved forward in Custer County District Court on Thursday.
Christopher Muggy, age 52 of Broken Bow, was arraigned and pled not guilty to third degree domestic assault (IIIA felony). The charge stems from events in September of this year. Jury trial was set for February 9 at 9 AM.
Jimmy Mortensen, age 61 of Oconto, reached a plea agreement with the state for reduced charges. He pled guilty to a class I misdemeanor charge of attempted possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) and was sentenced to 30 days in jail with credit for 12 days served. The judge allowed Mortensen to turn himself in on Monday as a part of the agreement.
Kevin Dasher, age 32 of Broken Bow, also had his charges reduced as part of a plea agreement. Felony charges were reduced to a class I misdemeanor charge of negligent child abuse in exchange for his plea of no contest. Sentencing was set for December 4 at 10:30 AM.
