Defendent Pleads not guilty

Last Wednesday Michael J. Sell pleaded not guilty to 11 counts of theft by taking, one charge of burglary, 11 criminal mischief counts and two counts of unauthorized use of a vehicle and one aiding a abetting a felony charge in Adams County District Court.  The 18 year old Seward resident denied the accusation that he had been involved in the crime spree that covered several counties, including but certainly not limited to, crimes committed in Blue Hill.
Sell and Kurtis Dobrovolny and another youth were allegedly involved in a string of thefts across several counties in 2010.  Some of the vehicles involved appeared to  have been deliberately rammed into each other. 
Michael Sell and Kurtis Dobrovolny have both also been charged with crimes they are alleged to have commited in Webster County.


Theft by taking, value more than $1,500 and burglary are each a class 3 felony punishable by up to 20 years imprisonment and a $25,000 fine. Theft by taking, value $500 - $1500 and accessory to a felony are each a class 4 felony punishable by up to five years imprisonment and a $10,000 fine.
