A man accused of taking advantage of a Libby resident who gave him a helping hand pleaded no contest to a one felony count of theft recently in Lincoln County District Court.

Henry Mareman Yeadon, 47, entered his plea during a hearing on Nov. 6. The plea deal calls for a deferred sentence and District Judge Matt Cuffe set sentencing for Jan. 8.

According to a supplemental narrative by county Sheriff’s Office Deputy Derek Breiland, the case began in November 2022 when a Libby resident called and reported Yeadon had stolen some of his tools. The man said Yeadon was staying in his shop because he had nowhere to live and was working for him building furniture. The victim said he told Yeadon he needed to leave because he was breaking his stuff and stealing items from the shop.
