OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A former Omaha police officer has been given one year of probation in an alleged excessive force case.

A Douglas County district judge sentenced 32-year-old James Kinsella on Thursday.

Kinsella was charged with two counts of obstruction of justice, after a charge of tampering with evidence was reduced. He pleaded no contest earlier this year.

Kinsella was one of several police officers involved in the March 2013 arrest of three brothers. He is accused of taking a memory card from a phone that that he believed had captured footage of the arrest. The memory card had no video evidence, which led to the obstruction charge being reduced.

Police officers were accused of using excessive force in the arrests.
