Harlan Epps is pictured Tuesday, June 2, 2026, with attorney Angela Keck in Douglas County District Court. A Douglas County judge on Tuesday sentenced a man to 18 months of probation for distribution of fentanyl, pursuant to a plea agreement, and she commended him for being an exemplary defendant while awaiting disposition of his case. Judge Amy Hanley made a point to read aloud a complimentary letter from an employee who supervised Harlan Epps for the past two years during his house arrest.
