Juracek entered pleas to three felony counts with six being dismissed. He will receive his sentence at a court hearing to be held on September 21st at the Gregory County Courthouse.

Juracek was originally charged with nine counts of entering homes in Gregory County with permission to use the bathroom and then removed painkiller medication from medicine cabinets within the bathrooms.
