OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha real estate agent accused of running a sports bookmaking operation has temporarily lost his real estate license.

The Nebraska Real Estate Commission voted Thursday to suspend the license of 44-year-old Todd Bartusek for 18 months. Bartusek will have 18 months of probation after the suspension. During probation he’ll be allowed to practice real estate as long as he doesn’t commit any more violations.

In February Bartusek was sentenced to three years of criminal probation for federal tax evasion. Prosecutors say an Internal Revenue Service investigation determined that Bartusek worked as a bookie from 2007 through 2010 and didn’t report his income of at least $735,000 from the operation during that time.
