OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - University of Nebraska Regent Jack Stark pleads not guilty to witness tampering.

Jack Stark was arrested in August 2021 on a felony charge of witness tampering.

According to court records, in August 2020, Stark was allegedly aware that an investigation into a criminal matter was pending that would have an individual close to him testify. Stark is accused of telling the individual to not testify.
