OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A man is suing an Omaha comedy club, claiming he broke his leg while under hypnosis during a 2014 show.

38-year-old William M. Bendorf of Omaha filed the lawsuit this month against the Funny Bone Comedy Club.

Bendorf’s attorney says the performer believed Bendorf was no longer hypnotized when he sent him back to his seat. The lawsuit says Bendorf was still in a trance and walked off the stage, breaking his leg.

A woman who answered a phone at the club Monday referred questions to the club manager, who she said was out of town. The manager didn’t immediately return a message left by The Associated Press.

Online court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment on the club’s behalf.

A 24-year old McCook man has died after taking his own life following a pursuit.

Just before 11:00 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 27, a trooper attempted to stop a 1991 Chevy Blazer for speeding at the Highway 6/34 Junction near Culbertson in Hitchcock County. The vehicle failed to stop and a pursuit ensued.

The pursuit, which lasted approximately 18 minutes, traveled back roads in and around Culbertson. The pursuit ended near the intersection of Colorado & Warsaw Streets in Culbertson when the suspect stopped the vehicle and took off on foot.

A perimeter was established and a search for the suspect began. Just before 1:00 a.m., Sunday, Dec. 28, authorities made entry into a camper at 808 Wyoming Street in Culbertson. Inside they found the suspect with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. A .22 caliber handgun was recovered from the scene.

The suspect, identified as Cody A. Lienemann, 24, of McCook, was flown by medical helicopter to the McCook Community Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The Nebraska State Patrol was assisted by the Hitchcock County Sheriff’s Office.
