(KLZA)--A Sabetha man accused of breaking into the Richardson County Courthouse in October will stand trial on charges.

25-year-old Harvey Webster, Jr. was bound over to Richardson County District Court last week on a charge of burglary following his preliminary hearing.

Arraignment is scheduled for December 19th.

Webster was arrested October 25th following an investigation by the Richardson County Sheriff’s Department and Nebraska State Patrol.

The investigation determined that someone had scaled a light pole and broke into the courthouse through a second floor window sometime late October 23rd or early October 24th.

The county clerk’s office was ransacked.  The register of deeds and county treasurer’s offices were also entered.

The Sheriff’s Office says property stolen during the break-in was recovered during Webster’s arrest.
