LINCOLN, NEB. ? Nebraska quarterback Jammal Lord pleaded innocent Thursday to disturbing the peace.

His trial was set in Lancaster County Court for Dec. 20.

The misdemeanor charge carries a possible penalty of up to a $500 fine and six months in jail.

Lord was cited in October for disturbing the peace after Lincoln police were called to his apartment around 3 a.m. on a Sunday morning.

Also charged with disturbing the peace and failure to obey a police order was Nebraska volleyball and basketball player Greichaly Cepero, who was at Lord’s apartment when police were called.
