Sergio Bravo was scheduled for arraignment after being released on his own recognizance from Justice Court on May 20, 2021. Churchill County Public Defender (CCPD) Wright Noel stated that he has had minimal telephone contact with his client since his release. ADA Chelsea Sanford requested a bench warrant in this matter. Judge Stockard issued a bench warrant for $30,000, cash only.

Mont Von Nickell was found guilty of Failure to Stop on the Signal of a Police Officer, a Category B Felony. Charles Woodman Esq., counsel for Mr. Nickell stated that his client was in the car with a woman he was seeing when police attempted a traffic stop due to the woman being known to police for drug issues. Nickell stated the woman told him she would be in trouble if he stopped and begged him to flee, which he attempted. The woman threw a large quantity of methamphetamine from the moving vehicle to conceal it from law enforcement in an area that children could have come in contact with the substance. Judge Stockard sentenced Nickell to 28-72 months in prison, suspended for a term of probation not to exceed 36 months, 120 hours of community service at a rate of no less than 10 hours a month.

Scott Kevin Greene pled guilty to Offer, Attempt, Commission of Unauthorized Use Relating to the Manufacture, Compounding of Certain Controlled Substances, a Category C Felony. CCPD Wright Noel stated that his client was a truck driver the majority of his life until he suffered spinal trauma. Greene was given narcotic pain relievers and was left in dire financial straits. A confidential informant approached Greene and asked if he would be interested in selling a portion of his prescription, to which he agreed. He has no criminal history and understands the gravity of the mistake he made. Judge Stockard sentenced Greene to 12-36 months in prison, suspended for probation not to exceed 24 months. If his current medication regimen is not deemed necessary, it is to be stopped immediately. Credit for six days time served.
