KEARNEY, Neb. -- Felony charges have been reduced against a Kearney man who robbed Kearney's Jimmy John's of a cookie with a BB gun.
Joshua Augustin, 25, then pleaded guilty to attempted terroristic threats and theft, both misdemeanors, in Buffalo County Court. He originally was charged with felony robbery.
Buffalo County Attorney Shawn Eatherton said after looking at the facts in the case and talking with the victims, the reduced charges better fit the crime.
"What he did was obviously wrong and stupid, but the punishment needs to be appropriate," Eatherton said.
