Man sentenced in dad's assault

MCCOOK, Neb. (AP) — A 62-year-old McCook man has been sentenced to 14 days in jail for assaulting his 95-year-old father.

Jon Leitner was convicted of disturbing the peace. Court documents say the original assault charge was reduced at the request of the victim.

Police say Leitner assaulted his father at least three times Sept. 19. An officer found bruises on the chest of Elmer Leitner and he complained of pain.

Jon Leitner was given credit for eight days served.
