This week, Dawes County Court Judge Randin Roland found Dawes County Sheriff Karl Dailey guilty of Official Misconduct (a Class II misdemeanor) for refusing to receive a man into the Dawes County Jail.

The man was arrested and wanted out of South Dakota for kidnapping and sexually assault.

The two-day bench trial on the matter was held in January.

Sentencing will be set at a date yet to be determined.

The Nebraska State Patrol assisted with the investigation.
