STANTON, Neb. – A 38-year-old Wayne man who was discovered on a country road and had his tire shot out by authorities has entered a guilty plea in Stanton County District Court.

Jeffrey Olsufka entered guilty pleas to charges of third offense DWI, possession of methamphetamine and resisting arrest.

Olsufka was arrested in March by the Stanton County Sheriff’s office on a county road northeast of Leigh. Stanton County Sheriff Mike Unger said Olsufka was found in a vehicle “performing lewd acts on himself.”

During the arrest, Unger said, Olsufka refused to cooperate and physically resisted arrest and further attempted to drive off.

Unger said law enforcement fired a gun to disable a tire on Olsufka’s vehicle.

He faces up to four years in prison when he is sentenced in December.
