Devin Nestroyl
Devin Thomas Nestroyl, was returned on a warrant to Douglas County from California where he was incarcerated on separate crimes, to plea to the counts of conspiracy and battery by a prisoner charge.
According to jail surveillance, on April 1, Nestroyl, Shawn Gary Stenzel, Kevin Louis Cucuk and Randy A. Martin, entered another inmate’s cell where the alleged beating occurred causing a broken rib and several other injuries to the victim’s face and head.
Stenzel received probation Monday on a drug possession charge.
His underlying sentence of 12-30 months with credit for time served of 103 days.
As a condition of probation, he was ordered to participate in Western Nevada Regional Drug Court.
He would have been eligible for a diversion program, but he was convicted of trafficking in connection with big Tahoe drug bust that occurred in November 2018.
Attorney Maria Pence said Stenzel was arrested after a traffic stop for not having license plates and a search of the vehicle resulted in deputies finding a small amount of methamphetamine.
Stenzel and three other defendants are denying charges they beat another inmate and are scheduled for trial in August.
