NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — A Norfolk psychologist accused of having sex with a former patient has surrendered his license for a year.

State records say Dr. Kevin Piske agreed to a license suspension, which began in April. The settlement agreement says Piske didn’t admit or deny any allegations in the state petition for discipline. State regulations regarding professional conduct bar psychologists from having sex with patients or former patients.

The petition says Piske had worked at the state’s Norfolk Regional Center and had a private practice. He’d treated the patient between 1996 and 1999. She contacted him in 2001 and began seeing and talking to him, but not as a patient.

The petition says the two began a sexual relationship in 2003, a relationship that stopped and started again over several years, through 2013.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A surgeon whose medical license has been suspended has been accused of impaired driving and of hit-and-run in Lincoln.

52-year-old Scott Strasburger, who played football for Nebraska from 1981 to 1984, was arrested Tuesday. His attorney in an unrelated civil case didn’t immediately return a call Wednesday from The Associated Press.

Police say Strasburger crashed into a parked vehicle on Tuesday afternoon and drove off, and then crashed into another vehicle stopped in traffic just a few minutes later. The driver of that vehicle told police she recognized Strasburger and suspected he was high on drugs.

Police later contacted Strasburger at his home.

Strasburger’s medical license was suspended for six months late last year on accusations that he’d been practicing medicine while impaired.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Members of a Lincoln family escaped a lightning-caused fire after being alerted by neighbors who were awakened by a blast of thunder.

Officials say firetrucks were dispatched just before 4:50 a.m. Wednesday to the south Lincoln home.

Patricia Zigante said told the Lincoln Journal Star (https://bit.ly/1AKhSEZ ) that when the thunder awoke her daughter, Teri Wright, Wright went to check on her daughter. Looking through a window in her daughter’s bedroom, Wright saw smoke at the neighbor’s house.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) — For the second time in three weeks, a bison has seriously injured a tourist in Yellowstone National Park.

Park officials say injuries to the 62-year-old Australian aren’t life-threatening though the bison tossed him several times into the air Tuesday morning.

The unidentified man was flown by helicopter for medical treatment.

Yellowstone officials say several people crowded the bison as it lay near a sidewalk not far from the famous Old Faithful Geyser. They say the bison charged after the man was taking photos from just a few feet away.

Bison can weigh as much as a small car and run three times faster than a person.

A bison in the Old Faithful area gored a 16-year-old girl from Taiwan as she posed for a picture near the animal May 16.
