(KNZA)--A Sabetha man convicted on charges in connection with a five-hour armed standoff in March has been placed on probation.
50-year-old James McKenney was sentenced Thursday in Nemaha County District Court on charges of criminal threat, interference with law enforcement and possession of drug paraphernalia.
He was given a suspended 13-month prison sentence on the charges, and then placed on 12-months supervised probation. In addition, McKenney was ordered to pay nearly $1,900 in court costs and fees.
He pleaded no contest to the charges last month. In exchange for the plea, four additional counts were dismissed.
