Hearings have been reset for two defendants arrested by Lincoln County deputies in late December in connection with recent burglaries.
Tommy Nathaniel Tilley, 19, of Cushing was charged Dec. 28, 2023, in Lincoln County District Court with second degree burglary, knowingly receiving or concealing stolen property and possession of a sawed-off shotgun/rifle.
His pre-preliminary hearing was scheduled for March 21 on all three felonies. Special Judge Emily Mueller rescheduled it until 1:30 p.m. April 11 in order for Tilley to hire private counsel and she now has moved it to 1:30 p.m. May 23.
In the burglary count, he is accused of breaking and entering a mobile home located in Avery, in Lincoln County on Nov. 27, 2023, by entering through a hole in the wall with the intent to commit a larceny.
His bond was set at $5,000 on that charge and he made his initial appearance Jan. 4 before Judge Mueller.
