Winnebago Man Sentenced for Assault on Partner
Amarro T. Loera, 27, of Winnebago, Nebraska, was sentenced to 21 months in prison for assault resulting in substantial bodily injury to a domestic or dating partner. United States District Judge Brian C. Buescher handed down the sentence on July 3, 2024, in federal court in Omaha, Nebraska.
