More trouble at the YRTC in Kearney. Last week we told you the police were called to the youth rehabilitation and treatment center after several of the juvenile residents in one of the living units started throwing beds.

Eleven youth were removed from the unit.

Well now, the Nebraska Department of Health and Human services tells News 5 eight youth overturned mattresses and beds Sunday night.

It upset other youth, but did not cause damage or injure any residents.
There will be no punishment for the youth,

But those involved last week will each be held an additional 60 days past their original release date from the facility.
