McKeon’s Charge Dismissed After Diversion | Omaha News

Former state senator Dan McKeon, who resigned amid a misdemeanor disturbing the peace charge stemming from an alleged inappropriate touching incident, has seen the case officially dismissed after successfully completing a diversion program — a move that permanently closes the door on future prosecution. McKeon initially pleaded no contest but later changed his plea to not guilty and sent out an apology letter. The dismissal, granted with prejudice, also came with a cost to McKeon. His seat is now filled by Governor Pillen’s appointee, Fred Meyer, who will serve until a special election in November.
