Summary
A former Lincoln orthopedic surgeon faces serious disciplinary action after allegations of sexual harassment surfaced, including inappropriate touching and a hostile work environment—some allegedly tied to work events and texts—with Shannon admitting to a sexual relationship with one staffer but denying others. Meanwhile, Nebraska football star Mekhi Nelson was arrested in Florida on charges of aggravated battery against a pregnant woman, with his arraignment set for July ninth. In a separate tragedy, a Box Butte County mom, Alyssa Parkins, is charged with child abuse resulting in death after her infant’s death prompted an investigation that included her son’s testimony. Two juveniles have been identified in connection with $5,000 in vandalism at Kelly’s Produce in Lincoln, part of a group of four teens who stole items and fled to Iowa.
