District Court June 17 with Judge Jim C. Shirley Presiding

Reginald Charles Anderson pleaded guilty to the Felony of Driving Under the Influence of an Intoxicating Liquor or a Controlled or Prohibited Substance, a Third or Subsequent Offense, which carries a penalty of 1–6 years in prison, and a fine of $2,000–$5,000. Anderson would only be eligible for probation if he is accepted to and completes a DUI diversion program.
Judge Shirley provisionally placed Anderson into the Western Regional Drug Court Program, ordered a Pre-Sentence Investigation (PSI), and set sentencing for August 19.

Lonnie Todd Lewis pleaded guilty to Possession of a Controlled Substance (methamphetamine), a Category E Felony punishable by 1–4 years in prison, and a fine up to $4,000. If a first offense, Todd would receive probation on a suspended sentence. Judge Shirley ordered a PSI and scheduled sentencing for August 19.

Joe Ed McCoy pleaded guilty to the Category D Felony of Possession of a Controlled or Prohibited Substance (methamphetamine), a Third or Subsequent Offense, punishable by 1–4 years in prison, and up to $20,000 in fines. Judge Shirley ordered a PSI and scheduled sentencing for August 19.

Michael Anthony Nikonowicz appeared for a Status Hearing. Churchill County Public Defender Jacob Sommer asked the court to allow Nikonowicz to use marijuana for medical purposes while on probation based on a note from his doctor. Judge Shirley permitted Nikonowicz to use marijuana while on probation.

Joshua Douglas Elderton, in custody, pleaded guilty to Failure to Stop on the Signal of a Peace Officer, a Category B Felony punishable by 1–6 years in prison and a fine up to $5,000. Judge Shirley ordered a PSI and scheduled sentencing for August 19. He released Elderton on his own recognizance (OR) with Court Services supervision that includes daily check-ins and random drug testing.

Jeffery David Krammer, in custody, admitted to Non-Technical Sentencing Violations regarding several conditions, including: residence requirements, reporting, prohibited associates, employment, financial obligations, restitution, unauthorized contact with his co-defendant, and completing Drug Court. Both the state and Churchill County Public Defender Jacob Sommer agreed to the revocation of Krammer’s probation. Sommer told the court his client regrets his behavior and will “use the time in prison to get things figured out so he's not back here again.”
Judge Shirley imposed the underlying sentence of 19–48 months in the Nevada State Prison on the underlying charge of Grand Larceny of a Firearm.

John Mitchell Swanson: Arraignment continued with the date to be set administratively.
Chelsea Lynn Daniels: Arraignment continued to June 24.

Comment author: BonnieComment text: Good Luck to all of you. I mean this sincerely. My family fought the Navy for years. My parents owned Horse Creek (Pat and Linda Dempsey). They strung them along for years until they had no financial choice but to accept and get out. My Dad even hauled water for the Snow ranch trying to stay afloat. May God bless you all. I truly pray it works out for you.Comment publication date: 3/28/26, 9:22 PMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Lynn JohnsonComment text: I remember your mother well; she was a lovely and kind woman.

I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking.
