Kevin Harty – Lincoln Police Department

Written by CBKN76

On August 29, 2000, off-duty Officer Kevin Harty was involved in an altercation with Jesse Ousley, during which Harty identified himself as a police officer and used force. Ousley filed a lawsuit alleging civil rights violations, claiming Harty acted under color of state law. The court found sufficient evidence to suggest Harty was acting in his official capacity, leading to a denial of summary judgment for Harty. The case highlighted issues regarding the use of force by off-duty officers and the responsibilities of the Lincoln Police Department in supervising their personnel.
