BROKEN BOW – The Custer County District Court heard 5 criminal cases Thursday morning, most of which were continued.

In exchange for a guilty or no contest plea in one count of theft by unlawful taking of $1500 to $5000, a Class IV felony, Ducote would spend 90 days in jail with credit for 2 days served, and pay over $4300 restitution to offended business. Ducote pled no contest.
Brandon B. Rohde, 43 of Arnold, failed to appear in court for his sentencing, as he is currently incarcerated in Dawson County on other charges.

His case was issued a continuance to February 16.
