TEEN CHARGED IN CAR THEFT, LEAVING INFANT ON POORCH WANTS CASE TRANSFERRED TO JUVENILE COURT

Jozef McAllister, 17, faces nine total charges in Hall County District Court, including kidnapping and child abuse, for an alleged January 29 incident where he and 18-year-old Tate Wolfe of Kearney allegedly stole a car with three children inside before leaving an infant on a porch of a farm house in cold weather.

In his order denying the request, Hall County District Judge Andrew Butler said McAllister successfully completed treatment at the Youth Rehabilitation and Treatment Center in Kearney and has received probation services since 2021.

Butler said McAllister had been unsatisfactorily released from probation and found to not be amenable for services or has exhausted all of the juvenile resources. In his order, he found McAllister is not amenable to juvenile services.

Butler also noted McAllisters criminal history, with multiple juveniles cases in Nebraska, as well as in Massachusetts where he has active warrants. He added that while in secure detention, he has been involved in assaults.

McAllister faces additional charges of assault by a confined person, use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony and terroristic threats after allegedly pulling a shank on a juvenile inmate and threatening to kill him.
