Three people, two men and one woman, were arrested Tuesday on multiple Burglary and Theft charges following an accident in Fremont County. The Fremont Sheriff’s Office reports 19-year old’s Aidan Anthony Case and Jacob Paul Cain, along with 21-year old Mary Beth Rhea, all from Sidney, turned themselves-in to authorities. They face three counts each of Burglary in the 3rd Degree/vehicle related, three counts each of Theft in the 4th Degree, and one count each of Theft in the 5th Degree. Cain was also charged with Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Their bonds were set at $9,000 each.

Officials say the charges stem from an accident that happened early Tuesday morning, in Hamburg. An inventory was performed after on the wrecked vehicle, which was then towed to the Fremont County Sheriff’s Impound. Later that morning, the Sheriff’s Office began receiving calls about vehicles and mailboxes which had been gone through, and items taken.  A search warrant of the vehicle led to items being seized into evidence that were reported stolen. Other items in the vehicle are believed to have been stolen, with the victims unaware of the thefts.

The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office says if you have any information about your missing property, call them at 712-374-2424.

The U-S Supreme Court has ruled in favor of workers at a pork plant in Iowa on a pay issue. The Supreme Court upheld a five-point-eight million dollar judgment against Tyson Foods after workers at the Storm Lake plant sued, saying they should be paid for the time spent putting on and taking off protective clothing needed for their jobs.

Tyson argued workers should not be allowed to go in together in the lawsuit, and focused in part on whether the employees could use averages in figuring out the time they should be paid for putting on the work gear. The Supreme Court ruled against the company 6-2, with Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito the no votes.
