LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A former University of Nebraska football coach has been charged with domestic assault after Lincoln police say he threw a picture frame at a 33-year-old woman.

Forty-year-old Rick Kaczenski was Nebraska’s defensive line coach from 2012 to 2014. Deputy Lancaster County Attorney Carolyn Bosn charged him with third-degree domestic assault Monday.

A Lincoln police officer says police were called over the weekend to a Lincoln home about an argument between two people. Police found the woman with a cut to her forehead and scratches to her face and neck.

Kaczenski was jailed Sunday on suspicion of committing third-degree domestic assault. He was released on bond Monday night.

It wasn’t immediately clear if Kaczenski has an attorney.
