1. Natrona County Circuit Court initial appearances (9/x/26) (oilcity.news) — Natrona County Circuit Court in Casper handled a slate of initial appearances Wednesday, setting bonds and jail time for defendants facing charges from aggravated assault to DUI and meth possession. If you know someone with a recent case, this rundown explains who appeared, what they're accused of, and the basic outcomes so far.
2. Hilltop Bank creates website to share updates during service outage (oilcity.news) — Hilltop Bank in Casper remains closed after a cybersecurity incident forced the shutdown of its internal systems, but customers can now get updates at hilltopbankupdates.com and on Facebook. While online, mobile, and phone banking are offline, debit cards and ATMs still work with a $1,000 daily limit as crews spend several days restoring services and determining when branches can reopen.
3. Colorado man pleads to breach of peace after friends abandon him at Alcova Lake beach (oilcity.news) — A Colorado teen's drunken outburst at Alcova Lake ended with Natrona County deputies arresting him after friends left him stranded on a boat-only beach near Casper. He later pleaded no contest in circuit court, received time served plus $570 in fines, and told the judge he'd learned his lesson about alcohol.
4. Wyoming ranks fifth in nation for households with no home internet access (kotatv.com) — New Census data show Wyoming ranks fifth nationally for households with no home internet, affecting about 17,700 homes from cities like Casper and Cheyenne to small towns. For Casper residents, the numbers highlight how many neighbors may still be offline, shaping everything from schoolwork and telehealth to job searches and local communication.
5. Public Notice #12159 - Platte County Record-Times (pcrecordtimes.com) — A Platte County court filing details how real estate in Glendo will be distributed from the estate of Orval Orlando Kludy, who lived in Casper. Several Casper and Evansville family members have assigned or disclaimed their interests, with the application asking a judge to confirm ownership for Jackie R.
