Omaha women kept finding trash piled on her car so she set up camera

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

An Omaha police officer resigned during an internal investigation into his conduct after an incident at his apartment complex, according to a press release from OPD.

Officer William Klees resigned Monday which was also the day his internal investigation interview was scheduled. According to a police report, a woman in his apartment complex complained that someone was dumping trash on her car, and that she recorded one of the incidents.

The Omaha City Attorney's Office consulted with OPD to cite Klees with Criminal Mischief.

Chief Todd Schmaderer released a statement regarding the investigation:

Officer Klees has completely disrupted the peace and sense of safety for Ms. Valentine. His actions are not indicative of the values of the hard-working women and men of the Omaha Police Department. His conduct is unbecoming of an officer and warrants his removal from the OPD.
Klees' resignation was accepted by OPD, and his law enforcement certificate will be revoked.

1. Gee I wonder what he didn't like about her. One bigot at a time.

Seek forgiveness and be better 'sir'.

[uponit7771]

33. right ?!

[cutroot]

2. He obviously believes that he is above the law

They should investigate to discover what other shenanigans he has been up to.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

4. pull all his arrests records

[70sEraVet]

22. I'm with you on that one.

Doubt very much that he only has acted on his racism on his time off!

3. Kick

5. Kick AND K&R! n/t

6. Unreformable. FTP.

7. I'd move too for my own safety

Damn

[TigressDem]

8. Probably a member of the Proud Boys. nt

[rubbersole]

9. Bet he's an incel.

[NoMoreRepugs]

18. THIS.

[uponit7771]

29. +1,

[TeamProg]

10. She needs to bring a lawsuit. n/t

[634-5789]

11. I'm guessing this jackass has done other weirdo stuff, check his background!

[brush]

12. Isn't that a crime? She got him on video. Malicious mischief or something?

Where is the charge against this POS?

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

13. yes, its a crime. PD should proceed with charges even though he has quit

[uponit7771]

31. +1, can't she press charges or is it up to the PD to allow the victim to press charges? tia

[NutmegYankee]

47. It probably depends on the state.

Some states allow citizens to file directly with a judge for charges. This is common in cases of larceny.

[AllaN01Bear]

14. id like to see a national data base for these cops

[2naSalit]

20. +1

[electric_blue68]

40. Hoooo, yeah! Excellent idea.

[plimsoll]

42. Many states have sex offenders listings.

I mean if I had a criminal cop living within a couple blocks I'd want to know.

[geardaddy]

52. This!

15. BTK starter kit.

Check his crawl space. Check his DNA.

[multigraincracker]

16. Many, not all, cops think the law does not apply to them.

"I'm a cop, who's going to arrest me?" or I'll get a "Professional Courtesy” from the other cops. I use to hear that all the time from my ex. I told the Sheriff about it and she was no longer on the force.

[pirsquared]

19. paid leave paid vacation joke

Once again, being on "paid leave" means you don't go to your job and you get paid same as usual. Sleep late, fly to Hawaii, no worries. Police unions love this. Did you know?--you can get sick leave while on "paid leave" extending the vacation. And you continue to get additions to your retirement fund and your family's health insurance.

All my life I have aspired to 'paid leave' for at least 6 months.

The perps get no punishment at all. Reform advocates have urged that 'paid leave' be limited to 50% of salary/benefits, to be reimbursed if exonerated.

But not a sneaky paid vacation.

[multigraincracker]

21. She was forced to go on disability at a real cut in pay.

She filled a law suit against the department and county and lost.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

23. good

[JI7]

17. He needs to be arrested

[robbob]

24. Paid administrative leave???

Guy needs to be sitting in a jail cell. I wouldn’t feel safe if I were her either.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

27. he quit and his cop license terminated

yes, needs to be in jail too

[ShazzieB]

35. Quit, my ass!

He should have been freaking fired. Canned, sacked, axed, kicked to the curb.

I'm guessing it was a mutual decision. They let him resign rather than air all the dirty laundry that would have come out and reflected badly on both him and the department. He agreed to resign for the same reason.

At least he's not a cop anymore.

[58Sunliner]

25. Good for her. I hope she is able to sue him.

[Warpy]

26. I'd sure as hell be looking for a new place to live

considering how asshole cops protect each other, even if it's a cop with a screw loose like this guy.

It's a shame she's the one who needs to move, but even if this jerk goes to jail, his buddies on the force will know who she is and where she lives.

The world sucks for women.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

30. she should move with $$ from payout from police dept

[Warpy]

34. That will replenish her savings

but I'm afraid she needs to move NOW, before any of this has a chance to grind its way slowly through the legal system.

I don't think she can sue the cops at this point since he wasn't on duty when he did this shit.

[Genki Hikari]

55. Oh, she might have a good chance at a payday

That looks like an OPD shield on the hoodie he's wearing. If it is, that means he was carrying out a crime while representing OPD.

And cops are never off-duty. Not really.

I think she'll get not a large, but a comfortable, payout. If only to make her shut up.

[marble falls]

28. Some dudes have problems with an intellegent woman. Their loss. My wife thinks she ...

... should stay on alert. If this is the effort he expends over some self perceived slight, imagine what he might be up to now that his life has been rearranged.

[electric_blue68]

41. Yeah, really! 😔😬

[The Jungle 1]

54. Well I am a man and I do have a problem with intelligent women.

They keep out smarting me.

[marble falls]

56. It goes easier on you if you submit. From experiance.

[LudwigPastorius]

32. Oink!

[lame54]

36. We found the line

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

39. the thin one?

[lame54]

48. Shoot as many people as possible but don't be piling trash on cars

[electric_blue68]

37. Fucking Racist! Resigned before going before an investigation? Heh. How is that poor woman going....

to feel. safe?! 😑😔

[live love laugh]

44. ✔️

[colorado_ufo]

38. My gut tells me that he has.a crush on her and

that the one conversation they had was him asking for a date. Couldn't stand to be rejected by a beautiful black woman.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

45. My thoughts, too. Crush or obsession.

[Justice matters.]

43. Don't these criminal jerks know there are CAMERAS everywhere these days??

[Stuart G]

46. Why pile trash on someone's car? Why would someone do something like that?

What is his reason?

[Hortensis]

49. Definitely the wrong stuff for law enforcement. And he's OUT!

I looked, and he's 31 and she's a young, pretty woman. Maybe reversible chemical castration coulld have helped him, but too late to save that career now.

[The Jungle 1]

50. Back the blue until it happens to you!

[llmart]

51. "criminal mischief"

What a cute term. Makes it sound like he is just a ten-year old boy pranking someone on Halloween.

He's a freakin' officer of the law. Well, maybe not any longer (we can only hope).

Folks - this is how the good ole' boy network works. Never forget that. Within law enforcement it's even much more prevalent than say, in a corporate setting.
