Earlier, Omaha police said a command officer was placed on leave in connection with an investigation into a controversial arrest that was caught on video.
Two other officers are also on administrative leave and two additional officers were temporarily reassigned.
The investigation stems from a March 21 incident at 33rd and Seward streets, which resulted in allegations that police used excessive force in subduing Octavius Johnson. Video taken from a neighboring home was posted online.

Police said once the internal investigation is complete, Chief Todd Schmaderer will hold a news conference to announce the results.
Demonstrators, armed with signs, marched down Farnam Street and gathered outside City Hall on Monday.
