MAN SENTENCED IN FOLTZ FAMILY BURGLARY CASE
greeley, neb.» A South Dakota man has been imprisoned for stealing from a construction site and burglarizing the home of the late Sam Foltz’s brother when he was in Lincoln honoring the former Nebraska football player.
Online court records said Scott Davis, of Lennox, S.D., late Monday was sentenced to three to five years in Greeley County District Court. He had pleaded guilty to burglary and theft after prosecutors dropped two charges.
Authorities said Davis broke into the home of Jordan Foltz on Sept. 3 as the Foltz family attended a memorial for Sam Foltz at the Huskers’ home opener.
Davis was arrested Sept. 4 on suspicion of drunken driving, and officers said they found items in his car believed to have been stolen from Jordan Foltz’s home.
