A northeast Nebraska man who vanished with his wife and children after being questioned on domestic-abuse allegations has been sentenced to prison for probation violation.

The Pierce County, Nebraska, Attorney's Office said Thursday that 26-year-old Matthew Schade was sentenced in district court to an indeterminate term of 18 months to 36 months for burglary.

Authorities say Schade violated terms of his probation by stealing a truck and having a gun. Schade previously denied stealing the Silver City, South Dakota, volunteer fire department vehicle.

Schade and his wife Rowena left their Creighton home in March and headed to South Dakota fearing they'd lose custody of their children. They turned themselves in 18 days later.

Rowena Schade was sentenced last month to an additional year of probation for violating probation.
