LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Liquor Control Commission chairman says his agency should have jurisdiction over party buses.

Chairman Bob Batt’s remarks come days after a Nebraska Wesleyan University football player was struck and killed while walking on Interstate 80 near Lincoln after riding a party bus.

Lancaster County officials say a Wesleyan student rented the bus 22-year-old Maury Lorence was riding in over the weekend. Passengers were drinking alcohol on the bus which stopped at a truck stop. When the bus left the truck stop to return to campus, Lorence wasn’t on the bus and got left behind.

The jurisdiction over party buses currently falls under the Nebraska Public Service Commission. Batt says the state’s liquor commission is the right agency to handle them.
