Ex-UNO football coach arrested in prostitution case

Former University of Nebraska at Omaha football coach Pat Behrns was arrested Tuesday in connection with a prostitution case in Council Bluffs.

Behrns, 63, was arrested Tuesday afternoon in the Bluffs on suspicion of solicitation of prostitution, officials said.

A Bluffs police department lieutenant said Wednesday that Behrns and 12 others were arrested as part of a periodic prostitution sting operation in which initial contacts are made over Internet websites.

Authorities said they wouldn?t release additional specifics about the arrests or the sting because the operation is recurring.

The lieutenant said he did not know if Behrns was still being held or whether the ex-coach?s first appearance in court had been scheduled.

Behrns was head coach of the Mavericks from 1994 through the program?s dismantling in March 2011 as UNO prepared to join the NCAA?s Division I ranks.

He was also the head coach of the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux football team from 1980 to 1985.

Behrns is a 1972 graduate of Dakota State University.
