An Omaha man says he was wrongly held at gunpoint in 2013 by the police officer who shot and killed a man in February.

T. Arthur Haskin wants the Police Department to take away the badge of Officer Alvin Lugod, an officer he feels is not fit to protect his neighborhood.

Haskin filed a complaint against Lugod after the incident in his neighborhood. Police Chief Todd Schmaderer informed Haskin, after an investigation, that Lugod had been exonerated.

Haskin said he is upset a grand jury this week chose not to criminally charge Lugod in the shooting death of Danny Elrod, 39.
