BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) — A suburban Omaha city administrator has pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from an altercation in a dentist's office.
The Omaha World-Herald reports that the attorney for Bellevue City Administrator Dan Berlowitz entered the pleas Tuesday in Sarpy County Court in Papillion. The misdemeanor charges are trespassing, disturbing the peace and assault.
Berlowitz has been placed on paid administrative leave.
A police report says Berlowitz poked a Bellevue dentist in the chest on June 21 and then pushed the dentist's in a shoulder. Berlowitz's attorney, James Schaefer, says Berlowitz felt threatened and says Berlowitz denies assaulting the dentist.
