Three years ago, an Arkansas court found police officer Coleman
Brackney guilty of
negligent homicide in the shooting death of James Ahern.
Brackney spent one month in jail and was fired from the Bella Vista
police department. But he later got the conviction expunged, and a
state board ruled that he could once again serve as a police
officer. The Sulphur Springs City Council recently hired Brackney
as their new police chief.
