CHADRON, Neb. (AP) - A man accused of flooding the Dawes

County Jail and causing more than $10,000 in water damage to
county offices has pleaded guilty to a felony criminal mischief
charge.
     Dale Yellow Horse of Pine Ridge, S.D., will be sentenced later

this month in Dawes County District Court.
     Authorities say the 25-year-old plugged toilets, sinks and a
shower while incarcerated on check-forging charges in October.
Water overflowed into county offices below the jail.
     Authorities say Yellow Horse was upset because he was placed in
a different cell while officers handled a fight involving two other
inmates. He allegedly accused jailers of violating his rights, and
plugged the drains because he felt they weren't responding to his
complaints quickly enough.
