The United States Attorney for the District of Nebraska, Lesley A. Woods, announced that a federal Grand Jury has returned 30 unsealed indictments charging 31 defendants with various offenses. Indictments are formal accusations and do not constitute proof of guilt; all defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.

Among those indicted is Jeffery Robinson, 49, of Springfield, Nebraska, who is charged with failure to register under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) between April 7 and May 2, 2025. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Devon Rice, 28, of Lincoln, Nebraska, is charged with attempted production of child pornography from May 30 to June 18, 2025. The maximum penalty upon conviction ranges from at least 15 years to no more than 30 years in prison.

Dakota Parrott, 32, also from Lincoln, faces charges for possession with intent to distribute over 50 grams of methamphetamine on March 24, 2025. Conviction could result in a minimum of ten years and up to life imprisonment.

Joshua Hollum, 46, of Kearney is named in a two-count indictment involving drug trafficking and firearm offenses dated February 4, 2025. Each count carries significant penalties including mandatory minimum sentences if convicted.

Victor Zavala Garcia from Crete is accused of making false statements on a passport application on June 5, 2023. Tyson Bauer from Deshler faces charges related to making false statements affecting the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation in December 2020.

Eulisis Martin of Grand Island was indicted on four counts including attempting malicious damage to federal property using explosives and possessing a destructive device known as a Molotov cocktail during incidents occurring in June this year.

Cristian Manuel Tovar-Olivares and Snaider Sthiferson Castro Hidalgo of Kearney face three counts involving conspiracy to commit bank burglary and unauthorized computer access related to an incident on July 6.

Other cases include Daryl J. Leise (bank fraud), Carina Guadalupe Salazar-Zuniga (fraud/misuse of documents), Cody Chilson (escape from custody), Salih M. Samin Totakhil (international parental kidnapping), Tyrece D. Thomas (sexual assault by force or threat), Guadalupe Cabrera Mejia (false representation/fraudulent identification), Marvin Aleman Zepeda (assaulting officers with deadly weapon), Thomas M. Laughlin (felon in possession of firearm), Rodolfo De Leon Cua (child pornography transportation/possession), Joyce M.

Further indictments involve Tresean E. Washington for being a felon in possession of a firearm; Osmar Lorenzo-Genchi for assaulting law enforcement officers; Gabriel Hurtado-Cariaco for attempted murder and assault against federal officers; as well as several individuals charged with illegal reentry after removal or deportation—some following felony convictions—which carry penalties ranging up to ten years’ imprisonment depending on prior criminal history.

"The maximum possible penalty if convicted is not less than fifteen years’ and not more than thirty years’ imprisonment," according to the announcement by U.S. Attorney Lesley A. Woods regarding one case's sentencing guidelines.

All cases will proceed through the federal court system where each defendant will have an opportunity for legal defense before any determination of guilt or sentencing.
