LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A former doctor for the Nebraska football team has been given probation on convictions stemming from Lincoln crashes last summer when his 6-year-old child was in the back seat.

53-year-old Scott Strasburger was given a year of probation and fined $750 Tuesday. Strasburger had pleaded no contest and was convicted of driving under the influence of cocaine and leaving the scene of an accident. No one was injured.

Police say Strasburger collided with another vehicle and then crashed into a parked vehicle last June. The driver of the first vehicle told police she recognized Strasburger and suspected he was high on drugs.

Strasburger’s medical license was suspended in 2014 on allegations that he’d showed up impaired at a Lincoln surgical center.
