A Monday hearing to sentence Stephanie Nomis for her part in the embezzlement of Green River Fire Department Foundation funds was continued after Nomis said she did not recall receiving a copy of her pre-sentence investigation.
A new hearing date was not set as of press time.
The hearing took place before District Court Judge Suzannah Robinson Monday morning and progressed until the judge asked if Nomis received a copy of her pre-sentence investigation.
She said she didn’t remember receiving it. According to her attorney, Gary Arnell, records showed the report was sent to the Nomis household on Keith Street, but Nomis said she didn’t recall seeing it, resulting in the hearing being continued. Under Wyoming statutes a person has the right to receive and review a copy of the pre-sentence investigation report at least 10 days before their sentencing hearing.

CASPER, Wyo. What does it cost to be self-sufficient in Wyoming? A single adult working full time needs to earn at least $10.24/hr.
That’s according to “The Self-Sufficiency Standard for Wyoming 2020” prepared by Dr. Diana M. Pearce for the Wyoming Women’s Foundation in Feb. 2020.
“A single adult needs to earn $10.24 per hour working full time to be able to meet his or her basic needs, which is nearly three dollars per hour more
than the federal minimum wage rate ($7.25 per hour in 2020) or double Wyoming’s minimum wage rate of $5.15 per hour,” the report states.
SWEETWATER COUNTY As a result of this nearly yearlong investigation, and the following court proceedings, the Sweetwater County Attorney’s Office, with the assistance from local law enforcement, successfully disrupted, dismantled and prosecuted 23 Sweetwater County local, drug users and distributers, residing in Green River and Rock Springs, Wyoming.
In addition, four out-of-state suppliers of heroin and methamphetamine, were identified, charged and prosecuted for their roles in supplying large quantities of controlled substances into the Sweetwater County area.
Furthermore, the identification and disruption of this Drug Trafficking Organization (DTO), not only impacted the communities resting in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, it positively impacted areas in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Phoenix, Arizona.
