Mathew Rydberg, known as Matt McKay on Alpha’s KFRX-FM in Lincoln, who was arrested and charged with domestic assault April 20th will not be returning to his job. The station posted this short message to Facebook.
“Alpha Media and Matt Rydberg (McKay) have severed their employment relationship. Out of respect for his family we have no further comment other than to say that we wish his family well.”
According to authorities, Rydberg, while intoxicated, got into an argument with a woman at his home. The woman told police she went to sleep in her children’s room when Rydberg became angry. Police say the woman told them Rydberg “pushed on her neck and she couldn’t breathe, pushed her face, bit her nose and shoved her.” The incident was allegedly witnessed by the children.
