KEARNEY — A convicted felon is back in prison after unintentionally shooting a bullet through the headrest of a pickup on Interstate 80 in July.

David Glisson, 35, of Kearney was sentenced Dec. 29 in Buffalo County District Court to one year in prison for felony attempted possession of a firearm by a felon after possessing two rifles and two handguns in a July 8 incident at Bassway Strip. He had earlier pleaded no contest to the charge.

Now-retired Judge John Icenogle gave Glisson 86 days credit for time already served in jail. According to court records, Glisson was previously convicted in 2002 in Hall County for the unauthorized use of a financial transaction device, a felony, and was sentenced to one to two years in prison.

On July 8, Nebraska State Patrol troopers were called to the I-80 Minden interchange after a motorist called 911 to report the passenger window of his pickup had been shot out as he drove east on I-80. Buffalo County Court records say the driver found a spent round in the passenger compartment of the pickup in the backseat after it passed through the front passenger headrest.
