A no-contest plea from a western Iowa man charged with three deaths. 19-year-old Stephen Halbert was at his familiy home in Carter Lake when police showed up with a warrant in his name. They who were looking for his uncle, who has the same name, but the teenage Halbert took off and fled the officers, allegedly going more than 80-Miles an hour in a stolen SUV he’d had parked at the house. He crossed into the city of Omaha where police say he turned off his headlights and ran a stop sign before he slammed into two motorcycles carrying three people. They all were killed. This week Halbert entered a plea of no contest in Douglas County District court. He’s to be sentenced December fifteenth.
