There will be several hearings at Box Butte County District Court on Wednesday, including for two cases that made headlines last year.
Yadira L Garza has a hearing at 1 pm to decide whether her case will go to trial, she plead not guilty in February on Terroristic Threats and Use of a Firearm to Commit a Felony, both Class C Felonies and Obstruction of Government Operations.
The charges stem from an incident in November when Alliance police responded to a welfare check, where allegedly Garza showed a firearm to officers leading to a hostage situation with a child.
A shelter-in-place was issued, and a standoff ensued before Garza surrendered peacefully to authorities shortly before midnight.
Also on Wednesday, Rebecca Ashing will have a pre-trial conference for her April 15th-17 trial for the alleged stabbing of her then partner Cody Daul. Ashing faces an Attempted First Degree Murder charge among others.
Both hearings will be at the Box Butte County District Courthouse in Alliance at 1 pm.
