KEARNEY, Neb. (AP) — A young Lincoln man has been given 10 to 20 years in prison for assaulting jailers at the Buffalo County Jail in Kearney.

19-year-old Audon Green was sentenced on Tuesday in Buffalo County District Court. Green had pleaded no contest to two felony counts of assault by a confined person and one of attempted assault.

Authorities say Green already was serving a sentence for assault when the jail incident occurred on March 11. Authorities say Green refused to cooperate with jailers who approached him about kicking his cell door. They suffered minor injuries when he fought their attempts to restrain him.
