Scanner traffic indicated that there was a 10-35 or warrant for a local individual.

3-2-1. Do you have a copy of that 10-35? No. No.

And after a short discussion about the warrant, or 10-35, there was one male 10-15 headed to Scotts Bluff County Jail.

5-2-4 North Platte. 5-2-4. 1 male 10-15. 12:15. Scotts Bluff County Detention Center. 12:31. 5-2-4 North Platte. 5-2-4. I'll be 10-8 from the scene, or from that E. 29th address, and then Scotts Bluff County Detention Center with 3-2-1. 12:32. 3-2-1. (Inaudible codes) then 4-9-1-0.

Editors Note;

Back in October of 2025, the defendant resigned from the Scotts Bluff County Detention Center after the sexual abuse allegations came to light. According to witnesses and affidavits, sexual activity among staff and even inmates has been evident for several years. This isn't the first time they have come under fire; and we have not hesitated to report on it before.
