Arrest of Snook in Nebraska Ties to Cheyenne election fraud
In a cross state case, Arthur Snook, aide to the county clerk, was captured in Lexington Nebraska on a flight toward Cedar Bluffs. Deputy Sheriff William Yort and County Prosecutor Sam M Thompson will return him to Cheyenne to face charges over a thwarted bid to miscount Orren Babbitt as Republican sheriff nominee instead of Ashley Gleason. Babbitt allegedly funded the escape and confessed, while Babbitt later disputed timing details and claimed he could not act sooner.
