A change of plea hearing was held this week in Fourth Judicial District Court for a man charged with sexually abusing a minor. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.
Pursuant to the terms of a plea agreement reached with the State, 41-year-old David Fletcher pleaded guilty to the charge of sexual abuse of a minor in the first degree. The State is recommending a sentence of 12 to 20 years in prison. District Court Judge Darci Phillips ordered that a presentence investigation be completed by the Department of Corrections Division of Probation and Parole and scheduled sentencing for January 28 at 9 am. Fletcher’s bond was revoked and he was remanded to the custody of the Sheridan County Detention Center pending sentencing.
According to the affidavit of probable cause, on November 24, 2025, investigators in Arkansas contacted the Sheridan Police Department about a report of sexual abuse. A subsequent investigation led to the arrest of Fletcher for the sexual abuse of a minor in Sheridan County between December 8, 2023 and September 29, 2024.
Also from District Court, 33-year-old Shawn Kysar was sentenced to 10 to 20 years in prison for sexual abuse of a minor in the second degree. He was ordered to pay $325 in court costs and assessments and will receive credit for any time that he’s served of presentence confinement. Kysar will be held at the Sheridan County Detention Center pending transfer to a facility to be determined by the Department of Corrections.
