Saint Louis School has disciplined the four students involved in an alleged egg-throwing incident in Lanikai last weekend.

The school did not disclose specifics of the disciplinary measures.

"We do not condone any negative behavior from our students — but we will not abandon any Saint Louis family member either as parents or educators," Walter Kirimitsu, president of the school, said in a news release yesterday. "While these students' choices were not particularly wise, they ... are good kids who hopefully learned a life-altering lesson."

All four teens received the same disciplinary action, a spokeswoman for the school said.

The case involves Gerard Jervis, a former Bishop Estate trustee who is accused of pursuing the Saint Louis teens — who he claimed tossed eggs at his Lanikai home — and causing them to crash their SUV into a utility pole guywire. Jervis has been charged with first-degree criminal property damage. His attorney, Paul Cunney, said Jervis did nothing wrong and will be exonerated.

In response to the news the four students had been disciplined, Cunney said he believes the students have learned a lesson.

"It's just sad that it happened and Saint Louis has to deal with it," he said.

"You wouldn't want to see these young men's careers affected by this forever. I don't think anyone wishes them any harm."

The four students involved are all 17, according to police. The Advertiser has decided to not name them.

The incident has spurred a lively discussion islandwide about who was at fault in the case.

It has also prompted others to come forward to say they have also been victimized by egg-throwing teens.

In the news release yesterday, Saint Louis said the actions of the students involved in the incident are "not representative of the behavior we expect, nor are they reflective of our entire student body."

"The reports in the media have cast a negative reflection on our school and on these students and their families in particular," the release continued. "Based on what's been reported in the media, it would be so easy to condemn these students and our school. But we must do what is right for everyone concerned."

The release said the school decided on "appropriate disciplinary actions" for the students based on its student behavior code.

Cunney has said Jervis, 59, and his wife were sitting in their Onekea Drive yard on the evening of March 7 when the egging incident occurred. Cunney has acknowledged that Jervis was drinking earlier in the evening and police reported that Jervis had a blood alcohol level of .10. The legal limit is .08. Jervis has not been charged with driving under the influence, however.

Meanwhile, police have said, the teenage driver of the SUV is under investigation for driving under the influence of an intoxicant.
