Discharge Leads To Jail Time

By Raul Fernandez 

(SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb.) — On February 6, 2025, at approximately 8:10 a.m., Scottsbluff Police Officer Stefan Yocum investigated an incident that occurred around 12:00 a.m.

A citizen provided security camera footage showing Quentin Alexander Biery and a female arguing in the street. The footage captured Biery pulling out a firearm and discharging it into the air five to six times while walking northbound on 2nd Avenue. The citizen found five brass .45 caliber handgun casings in the street, which Officer Yocum collected as evidence.

The female confirmed she was with Biery but denied an argument. She stated she heard gunshots after walking away but did not witness Biery fire the weapon. She also denied knowing Biery had the firearm but acknowledged he was the one who discharged it. The female described Biery’s attire and his residence near 5th Avenue.

Court records showed Biery had a prior felony conviction in Scotts Bluff County District Court Case CR 23-655. An arrest warrant was issued for Quentin Biery.
