The Nebraska Board of Medicine and Surgery voted Friday to deny Reginald Burton’s request, saying it didn’t have “enough evidence to believe he can practice safely.”

In October 2017 he agreed to a 20-month suspension of his license. The settlement he signed backdated the suspension to Jan. 19 2017.

The original petition filed with state regulators listed nearly 20 concerns from Burton’s former co-workers at Bryan Health. Several of the allegations deal with conduct involving young adult male patients and “fuzzy” prescribing practices. Burton denied the allegations.

He applied for reinstatement this past October, saying he had completed his suspension and fulfilled other state requirements.

The accident occurred around 7:10 p.m. Sunday. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office says the eastbound car crossed a center line and collided with the westbound SUV.

The car driver was pronounced dead at the scene. She was identified as 48-year-old Rhonda Harnett. She lived in Omaha.

The sheriff’s office says the SUV driver was taken to Nebraska Medical Center. The driver was identified as 36-year-old Jodi Bierman, of Blair. Two children in the back of Bierman’s vehicle and the lone passenger in Harnett’s car also were hospitalized.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska man convicted of killing his wife has pleaded guilty to killing his parents and a niece and will spend the rest of his life in prison.

Douglas County District Court records say 46-year-old John Dalton Jr. entered the pleas Monday to three counts of first-degree murder and four weapons counts, but he offered no explanation for his actions.

Dalton was sentenced to three life terms plus up to 230 years in prison.

“They’re looking for answers — and they’re asking lots of questions — but sometimes there are none. It’s just pure evil,” chief deputy Douglas County attorney Brenda Beadle said.

Prosecutors say Dalton shot 70-year-old John Dalton Sr., 65-year-old Jean Dalton and 18-year-old Leonna Dalton-Phillip in Omaha last December . Police say his 6-year-old niece was also present, but she hid under a couch and was able to identify John Dalton Jr. as the shooter. He was captured in Jackson, Tennessee.

Dalton pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the 1998 shooting of his wife, Shannon Dalton. He was imprisoned for 11 years, and paroled in 2010.

All three of the couple’s daughters were home during the 1998 shooting. Dalton’s youngest daughter, Alicia Dalton, said Monday that the deaths of her grandparents and cousin were devastating.

“In a matter of seconds,” she said, “everything I had was lost.”

The Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission approved the settlement last week with Jansen village board members Kevin and Diana Belding.

State officials say Kevin Belding steered payments totaling $20,750 in village money to a company he owned, K&B Construction. Officials say the payments were made before the village board formally approved them, and Kevin Belding didn’t properly disclose his interest in the contract for street work.

Officials say his wife and fellow board member Diana Belding didn’t properly disclose her interest when she voted to approve the contract.

The allegations against Diana Belding were dismissed in the settlement.

Jurors on Monday found 39-year-old Scotty Payne not guilty of second-degree assault and use of a weapon in the June 5, 2017, death of 29-year-old Zachary Bearheels. Jurors deliberated about seven hours after a two-week trial.

Payne was among officers called to an Omaha convenience store that Bearheels had refused to leave. Bearheels had been wandering Omaha streets after being kicked off a bus headed to Oklahoma.

Payne shocked Bearheels 12 times and could be heard on cruiser camera video asking if he wanted another shock.

An autopsy determined Bearheels didn’t die directly from the shocks but from excited delirium.
