AUBURN, Neb. (AP) - A June 21 sentencing hearing in southeast Nebraska has been scheduled for a former Peru State College basketball player who took a plea deal in an assault case stemming from a brawl.
Nebraska City radio station KNCY reports that 25-year-old Jeffland Neverson, of Brooklyn, New York, pleaded no contest and was convicted Thursday in Nemaha County District Court of felony assault. Prosecutors dropped two related charges in exchange. His trial had been set to begin May 1.
Authorities say the crimes occurred after a fight broke out September 17 last year about a block from the Oak Bowl football stadium in Peru. Several Peru State football and basketball players were involved. At least three of the athletes required medical treatment.
