Omaha Officer Retires After Drunken Driving Conviction

omaha-policeOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 46-year-old police officer has retired from the Omaha force after being convicted of first-offense drunken driving.

Online court records say Jason Christensen pleaded guilty on Tuesday and was sentenced to six months of probation and fined $500. His driver’s license was revoked for 60 days.

Christensen’s lawyer told Judge Craig McDermott that Christensen was given an opportunity to retire and took it so he could continue working on some personal issues.
