A Natrona County man who prosecutors say was the lookout, has been charged in connection to an assault and burglary case.

Lantz is being held on $25,000 bond awaiting trial and could face up to five years in prison on each of his charges if convicted.

Meanwhile, Burgess has pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated assault and battery, and aggravated burglary, in connection to the case, and is awaiting trial.
