Shooting charges

A Prague man faces three felonies after he was arrested for allegedly firing a rifle at two men.

Samuel Lane Wyatt, 31, was formally charged in December in Lincoln County District Court with two counts of shooting with intent to kill and possession of a firearm while on probation.

Associate District Judge Sheila Kirk set his bond at $50,000. He made an initial appearance before Judge Kirk on Dec. 20 and was ordered to reappear at 1:30 p.m. Jan. 20 this year.

Count No. 1 against Wyatt accuses him on Dec. 13 of shooting at Dennis Owens with a firearm, a 30-30 Winchester rifle, a deadly weapon and wrongfully and intentionally pointing and firing at Owens with the intent to kill him.

The second count against Wyatt charges him on the same day of shooting at Kyle Lippincott with a 30-30 rifle with the intent to kill Lippincott.

The third count against Wyatt, possession of a firearm while on probation, accuses him on the same day of having in his possession and control a 30-30 Winchester rifle and a .380 Smith and Wesson pistol. The information states Wyatt was convicted of a felony in Pottawatomie County District Court on May 16, 2019 and received a suspended sentence.

Lincoln County Deputy Sheriff James Robinson in an affidavit filed in the case related he was dispatched to 1010597 SH 99 on Dec. 13 in reference to Samuel Wyatt shooting at both Owens and Lippincott.
