Guilty Plea to Theft Charge in Nebraska Case

Two eastern Nebraska youths were brought to Sidney to face charges of stealing a tire and breaking into a car.

The pair, believed tied to a Utah and Wyoming tire theft spree, were traveling with two girls, Winifred Davis and Phyllis Butcher, who were released without charges. County officials said charges include tire theft and breaking into an automobile.
