Committee seeks suspension of embattled prosecutor’s license

FREMONT, Neb. (AP) — A disciplinary committee has called for an emergency suspension of the law license of an embattled Nebraska county prosecutor who is set to resign March 1.

A committee of the Nebraska Bar Association that governs attorneys in eastern Nebraska is seeking the immediate suspension for Dodge County Attorney Oliver Glass, the Omaha World-Herald reported.

Glass, 46, announced his decision last week to resign following a year of scandals that involved a drunken driving conviction last March, accusations of harassing his estranged wife’s boyfriend and most recently, a charge of violating his DUI probation.

Glass submitted his resignation letter to the county board eight days after being released from jail on allegations that he violated his probation by again driving while drunk on the night of Jan. 28. He faces up to 60 days in jail if he’s convicted of the probation violation.

Glass’s attorney, Clarence Mock, said any disciplinary action from the Nebraska Supreme Court would not affect Glass’ March 1 departure.
