McKeon’s Charge Officially Dismissed | Lincoln News

Former state senator Dan McKeon’s misdemeanor charge for disturbing the peace—stemming from an incident last year involving inappropriate touching at a party—has been officially dismissed after he completed a diversion program. The judge granted the dismissal with prejudice, meaning charges can’t be refiled. McKeon initially pleaded no contest, later changed it to not guilty, and opted into the program instead of trial. His resignation followed a public hearing in January, and the governor appointed a replacement until a special election this year determines who’ll finish his term. This week’s ruling closes the legal chapter on the case. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
