LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A judge has issued a domestic violence protection order against Nebraska Lt. Gov. Lavon Heidemann after his sister accused him of violent behavior.
The order issued Monday by District Court Judge Daniel E. Bryan Jr. comes after his sister, Lois Bohling, filed a sworn statement last month in which she says he grabbed her wrists and screamed at her in a dispute involving their mother.
Heidemann, of Elk Creek, is also a candidate for lieutenant governor with Republican gubernatorial candidate Pete Ricketts.
A spokeswoman for Heidemann says she is reaching out to lieutenant governor to see if he wants to comment. Heidemann did not immediately return a message left on his cellphone.
