Neb. mother of kids found in kennel gets probation
NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) _ The Nebraska mother of two boys police found locked in a dog kennel will serve two years of probation after pleading no contest to felony child abuse. The North Platte Telegraph reports 23-year-old Ashly Clark changed her plea on Monday. Several other charges were dropped. Prosecutors made deals with Clark and three other defendants in the case after a judge ruled that some of what they told investigators couldn’t be used as evidence. Police say they found Clark’s two boys sleeping in a wired-shut kennel last October inside a filthy home. Last week, 22-year-old Lacy Beyer and 26-year-old Bryson Eyten pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor charges and received one year of probation. Similar charges are pending against 25-year-old Samantha Eyten, who is due in court on July 12. ——— Information from:
