Trego man pleads to firing gun at women, children
Harry Richards
A Trego man who pleaded no contest to firing a gun at a woman and her two, small children while they attempted to drive home during an incident earlier this year in north Lincoln County was sentenced last week in district court.
Harry William Richards Jr., 48, was charged with one felony count of criminal endangerment. He initially pleaded not guilty during a May 15 appearance in Lincoln County District Court.
But, on Oct. 18, Richard’s public defender Ben Kolter and county Deputy Attorney Jeff Zwang hammered out a plea deal. Richards was to be sentenced on Dec. 18, but Kolter sought a continuance for the sentencing to Friday, Dec. 29.
