GERING, Neb. — One of two teen inmates involved in an escape plot that ended with the death of a correctional officer has been sentenced to 25 to 30 years.
KOTA TV reports that Guy Eagle Elk, 18, was sentenced for his role in the death of Corrections Officer Amanda Baker by Scotts Blugg County District Judge Travis O’Gorman.
“This incident wouldn’t have happened without the encouragement of Guy Eagle Elk,” State Attorney Douglas Warner stated at the sentencing.
Eagle Elk was accused of teaching Dylan Cardeilhac, 16, how to perform the choke hold that Cardeilhac used to kill Baker during the escape attempt.
Eagle Elk was given 545 days credited and is eligible for parole in 12 and a half years.
Cardeilhac was sentenced to 60 years to life in February.
