A Judge has sentenced a retired Council Bluffs Police Officer to two-years of probation, in connection with the 2019 hit-and-run death of a bicyclist. According to KETV in Omaha, 56-year old Bob Christensen received his sentence Monday, after pleading guilty in the death of 55-year old William Shepard, who died at a hospital after being struck by a vehicle at around 2:10-a.m. on Old Lincoln Highway, near Northline Drive. The accident happened May 11, 2019.

Prosecutors said Christensen left the scene then drove back in a different vehicle. His trial was scheduled to start today (Tuesday).
