From the Knox County Sheriff - 12-30-25
Rolando Jaimes, 21, and Clifford Yost, 21, both residing in Santee, Nebraska, are being held in the Knox County Jail in connection with three burglaries in Knox County and one burglary in Cedar County.
As a result of a week long investigation conducted by the Knox County Sheriff’s Office, the Santee Sioux Nation Police Department, the Verdigre Police Department, the Cedar County Sheriff’s Office, and the Norfolk Police Division, three suspects have been detained. Arrest warrants are being requested for two additional individuals, including a juvenile, in connection with the Knox and Cedar County burglaries.
A significant amount of stolen property was recovered during the investigation, totaling over $90,000. Items include multiple side by side UTVs, a Massey Ferguson four wheel drive tractor with a loader, numerous firearms, deer antlers and mounts, and various pieces of hunting equipment and gear.
A fifteen year old juvenile is currently being held at the Youth Detention Center in Madison, Nebraska, for burglary in connection with the break in at the Bohemian One Stop on December 26, 2025. An arrest warrant will also be requested for a seventeen year old involved in the same burglary. Approximately $315.00 worth of hard liquor was recovered from that scene.
All burglaries were reported between December 25 and December 27. It does not appear that the incident at the Bohemian One Stop is related to the other incidents in Knox and Cedar County.
All reports will be forwarded to the Acting Knox County Attorney, the Attorney General’s Office, the Cedar County Attorney, the Madison County Attorney, and the Assistant U.S. Attorney’s Office.
