Two Cases, One Day in Court

(GERING, Neb.) — A Scottsbluff resident, Kateri L. Never Miss A Shot, 29, was sentenced in Scotts Bluff County Court on Sept. 28, resolving two separate misdemeanor cases.

First Case: Traffic Stop and Impaired Driving

The first case stems from a late-night traffic stop June 7 in Gering, where a Nebraska State Patrol trooper observed Never Miss A Shot driving a 1990 blue Buick Sable without headlights.

According to court affidavits, the arresting officer noted signs of impairment, including bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and an odor of alcohol. Chemical testing indicated a blood alcohol concentration of 0.211, more than two and a half times the legal limit. Officers also recovered a THC vape pen from the vehicle during a probable-cause search.

Never Miss A Shot pleaded guilty to DUI with a blood alcohol content exceeding 0.15, a Class W misdemeanor, and no proof of insurance, a Class 2 misdemeanor. A third charge of possession of marijuana was dropped as part of the disposition.

Judge Mark L. Kovarik sentenced Never Miss A Shot to:

• Jail: Seven days in county jail, with two days credited for time served.
• Fines and fees: A $500 fine for DUI, a $300 fine for no proof of insurance and $125 in laboratory testing fees.
• License revocation: A one-year driver’s license revocation beginning Sept. 28, with an ignition interlock device order.

Second Case: Insurance Violation

In a separate incident June 14, Scottsbluff Police cited Never Miss A Shot near Avenue W and 18th Street for failing to provide proof of insurance.

The charge was later amended to operating a licensed vehicle without liability insurance, a Class 4 misdemeanor.

On Sept. 28, Never Miss A Shot pleaded no contest to the amended charge. The court found her guilty and ordered a $300 state fine plus applicable court fees, bringing the total court-ordered payments in the second case to $350.
