(KMZA)--Two teenagers have pleaded no contest to charges in connection with the vandalism of the Wetmore Attendance Center in August.
Nemaha County Attorney Brad Lippert says 18-year-old Jarred Kramer and 18-year-old Jayme Hodge, both of Netawaka, entered the pleas Tuesday morning to charges of felony criminal damage to property and theft.
In exchange for the pleas, Lippert says the remaining charge of burglary was dismissed without prejudice, which means the charge can be re-filed if a new misdemeanor or felony is committed within the applicable statute of limitations.
Sentencing for both teens was set for January 16th in Nemaha County District Court.
The pair were arrested in September following an investigation by the Nemaha County Sheriff’s Department.
Damage was estimated at about $65,000.
