Fremont Police Officers to Face Investigation

fremont-police(AP) — The city of Fremont says an investigation will be conducted into the police officers who reportedly were at a bar where a teenager drank alcohol and later died in a crash.

Fremont City Attorney Paul Payne tells The Omaha World-Herald (http://bit.ly/1ecLx7c) that city administrators have known about the incident involving the officers since several days after the December 2012 crash that killed 18-year-old Jacob Dickmeyer, of Valley.

That news came a day after a Douglas County jury convicted 20-year-old Amanda Heiman, a former waitress at the bar, of procuring alcohol for a minor resulting in death.

Testimony during her trial indicated, among other things, that four off-duty Fremont officers were in the bar when Dickmeyer was drinking, and that one of the officers bought him a beer.
