Two 20-year-old Cheyenne women are facing felony charges for allegedly breaking into and assaulting a female’s apartment.
According to booking records, Cecellia Nadean Nace and Shayla Beth Peterson were arrested at 1515 Taft Ave. on Wednesday morning, June 25.
The two allegedly broke a window to gain entry into the flat, causing $1900 worth of damage.
Nace and Peterson were booked into the Laramie County Detention Centre and later charged with unlawful entry into an occupied structure, a felony punishable by up to ten years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both.
Bonds Set at $2K Cash
The following afternoon, June 26, Nace and Peterson were seen in Laramie County Circuit Court in front of Judge TJ Forwood on the charges.
Forwood agreed with the state’s recommendation to set both of their bonds at $2,000 cash, telling Nace, “The allegations are concerning, not only the fact that you broke into the residence to beat up somebody, but you also (caused) $1900 worth of damage.”
Nace and Peterson are scheduled to return to Circuit Court for preliminary hearings on Wednesday, July 2, at 10 a.m.
Remember that all suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
