A young Kearney man who struck a Kearney High School teacher must perform 100 hours of community service while on his two years of probation.

Jeremy Cabe had pleaded no contest to misdemeanor assault charges.

The 19-year-old and another student got into a dispute while playing basketball on school grounds in March.

Police say that when the 49-year-old teacher approached, Cabe punched her, knocking her unconscious. Other school employees received minor injuries when they tried to detain Cabe.

Judge Gerry Jorgensen of Buffalo County Court last week also ordered Cabe to continue counseling and taking his medications.

This 19 year old student got off easy! If he is 19, it is time he learned the rules of the real world. Situations like this are difficult because teachers can not defend themselves or they risk getting sued or losing their jobs.
