Fifth Omaha police officer loses job over 33rd, Seward arrests

A fifth Omaha police officer has been fired over the controversial arrests of three brothers at a north Omaha home last year.
The termination comes as the Police Department wraps up a lengthy investigation into the incident at 33rd and Seward Streets — some of which was captured on video by a neighbor.
People with knowledge of the investigation told The World-Herald on Wednesday that the fired officer is one of those who was placed on administrative leave after the incident. The department has not released the officer's name.
The March 2013 incident began with a parking complaint and escalated into a chaotic scene to which 32 officers responded.
