KIMBALL COUNTY -- A Dix man who was arrested July 17 is no longer facing felony charges. 

Kenneth Childs, 65, of Dix was originally charged with Class 2 Felony use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony, Class 3A Felony terroristic threats, Class 3 Misdemeanor disturbing the peace, and Class 3 Misdemeanor criminal mischief of causing pecuniary loss of $500 or less.  

The state dismissed the felony charges, so he is now only facing the two Misdemeanors. 

Sheriff David Hottell said, “After we checked into it further, we asked them to dismiss the felony charges; the evidence didn’t quite show what we believed it to be when we first arrested him.”
