An Omaha police officer has been recommended for termination after he improperly used a pepper ball gun during protests in late spring.

Three sources with knowledge of what occurred said Officer Grant Gentile fired a pepper ball gun at a protester’s genital area and later bragged about it. In addition, the sources said, Gentile was not certified to use a pepper ball gun.

Gentile, who has been with the department for eight years, was recommended for termination by Police Chief Todd Schmaderer, The World-Herald has learned.

A department spokeswoman said Schmaderer recently recommended the termination of an officer, but she declined to name the officer. The spokeswoman, Lt. Sherie Thomas, said officials could not comment further.
