UNL students win theft ruling
Muio repairman
guilty, judge says
By Wendy Mott
Staff Reporter
After nearly two years of litiga
tion, a decision has been made in
favor of two former University of
Nebraska-Lincoln students.
More than 20 months ago, former
UblL students David C. Schroeder
and Kurt Broer brought charges against
Judson Cushing. Cushing, •former
owner of Judson Automotive at 601
N. 27th St., allegedly charged the
men for parts that had never been
replaced.
Deputy County Attorney Dave
atempsonsaid a decision was reached
Wednesday that found Cushing guilty
of both counts of theft by deception.
“Basically (Cushing) said he put
parts in and did things to the cars that
he didn’t really do,” Stempson said.
Cushing faces a maximum penalty
of 10 years in prison and a $20,000
fine, Stempson said. Cushing is sched
uled to be sentenced Jan. 24.
Whether Broerand Schroeder will
be reimbursed depends on the judge’s
decision, Stempson said. He said Broer
was charged $985 for parts for his
Porsche 911 that never were replaced,
and Schroeder was charged S450 for
false parts replacements for his Porsche
911.
“If Cushing goes to jail,” Stempson
said, “they won’t get their money
back.”
Another UNL student, Katherine
Tabor, has charged that Cushing re
fused to return her car when she would
not pay him for unauthorized repairs.
Cushing will be tried separately for
the felony theft allegation.
Currently, Cushing is out on bond
and is believed to be living in Colo
rado, Stcmpson said.
“He went out of business shortly
after all this came down,” he said.
Stcmpson said he heard a number
of complaints about Judson Automo
tive when Cushing was first arrested,
but said only three complaints have
gone to trial.
