Butler County Juvenile Court Judge David Niehaus's decision Friday would let Brian Gegner out of jail if his 18-year-old daughter Brittany attends a GED preparatory class and schedules the test before the next court date.

Gegner received a 180-day sentence for contributing to the unruliness or delinquency of a minor.

He had been ordered months ago to make sure his daughter, who has a history of truancy, received her GED -something that hasn't happened yet. His daughter has said it's not fair that her father was punished for her behavior.
