Harvey Webster, Jr.

(KNZA)--A Sabetha man convicted on charges in three separate cases will have to serve additional time in jail before being released on probation.

Harvey Webster, Jr. was sentenced last week to 6 months in prison on a charge of criminal threat, 6 months in prison on a charge of battery against a law enforcement officer, 44 months in prison for distribution of methamphetamine and six months in jail for possession of stolen property.

Nemaha County Attorney Brad Lippert says Webster was ordered to remain in the Nemaha County Jail until May 23rd, at which time he will be released on probation in all three cases.

Webster pleaded no contest to the charges last month as part of a plea agreement. In exchange for the plea, six additional charges were dismissed.

He was arrested in November of last year after authorities say he broke into a Sabetha apartment, threatened the residents and attacked an officer who arrived on the scene.

Webster was also arrested on two Nemaha County warrants at that time, including one for distributing meth.

The warrant had been issued in early 2015 following an investigation by the Sabetha Police Department, but before the arrest could be made Webster fled the area and was in hiding until his arrest on November 27th.
