LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – A man is facing a single charge after stealing a track loader from a northeast Nebraska business, according to court documents.

Adam Brodahl, 36, was taken into custody after a woman said he refused pay her for a track loader she sold to him last year.

On Sept. 4, authorities learned that the woman had attempted to sell a track loader she was no longer using back to Kubota. The woman said she was referred to Brodahl as a potential rent-to-own buyer and sold the track loader to him, according to his arrest affidavit.

Brodahl and the woman created a contract that agreed to him making payments of $972.44 a month from May 2023 to October 2023, court documents stated.

It was made known to deputies that Brodahl was making the monthly payments until October, when she did not receive the agreed amount from him. When the victim tried to contact him asking for the monthly payment, he reportedly ignored phone calls and text messages.

When the victim finally received a response back, documents allege Brodahl demanded that if she wanted to get the track loader back, she needed to pay him $8,000, the deputy wrote.

According to court documents, the victim stated she was going pay Brodahl if he agreed to meet in a public area with the loader, but he did not respond to her. She then reported the loader as stolen.

Brodahl was charged with theft of unlawful taking of $5,000 or more, a class 2A felony. He is booked in Madison County Jail.

His arraignment is not scheduled at this time.
