Prison Sentence in Ball Bat Battery Case

Joseph Creamer

(KMZA)---A Humboldt, Nebraska teenager convicted in Nemaha County, Kansas in what authorities say was a robbery committed with a baseball bat has been sentenced to prison.  

Nemaha County Attorney Brad Lippert says 18-year-old Joseph Creamer was sentenced Thursday in Nemaha County District Court to 45 months in prison on a charge of aggravated battery.  A request for probation was denied.

Creamer pleaded no contest to the charge last month.  In exchange for the plea, three additional felony counts were dismissed.

 Lippert says Creamer will not be eligible for parole until he has served at least 37 months of his sentence.

 The Nemaha County Sheriff’s Department says Creamer used a bat to strike his victim in the head the evening of August 10th near 208th and F Roads in order to steal undisclosed items.

He was arrested November 23rd in Nebraska on a Nemaha County warrant and was transported to Nemaha County after waiving extradition.
