MILWAUKEE (WDJT) — A former Milwaukee Police Department officer, charged in connection with the in-custody death of Keishon Thomas, learned his fate on Friday, May 10.

Lopez was charged with misconduct in public office after allegedly falsifying entries in a report book.

A criminal complaint says, per MPD standard operating procedure, it’s required to do a visual check of prisoners in the cell block. Investigators say Lopez intentionally made entries in a report book which were false, “reflecting numerous inmate checks and inmate counts that never occurred.”

On Friday, a judge sentenced Lopez to probation.
