Nebraska Teacher Accused of Providing Alcohol for Teen

sarpy-co.-sheriffOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Eastern Nebraska authorities say a teacher has been arrested on accusations he trespassed into a Girl Scout camp with a teenager and gave her alcohol.

Sarpy County deputies responded Tuesday night to Camp Maha in reference to a vehicle that drove down a restricted road and had gotten stuck in the snow. They found the 38-year-old behind the wheel with the 18-year-old girl inside.

The man was arrested on suspicion of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and procuring alcohol for a minor. He also was cited for trespassing.

Springfield Platteview Community Schools says the school employee has been placed on administrative leave. He is a sixth-grade teacher at Springfield Elementary School and a basketball coach at Platteview High School.
