Deep dives

Pilfering Pilger

Kimberly Nyman, the former village clerk of Pilger, Nebraska, pleaded guilty to attempted theft amounting to more than $700,000 from the community. Despite facing potential charges adding up to 187 years in prison, Nyman reached a plea deal resulting in a three-year sentence and an order to pay over $44,000 in restitution. Periods of investigation and legal proceedings left many villagers puzzled about Nyman's motives, moderation by the court and prosecution offered limited resolution.
