Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer described the sentence of a woman who purchased the gun used to shoot and kill Officer Kerrie Orozco as disappointing. Now a local pawn shop owner is saying he agrees with the Chief and believes a stricter sentence was needed.

According to investigators Jalita Johnson lied about who she was purchasing a gun for in a Georgia pawn shop. She said she was buying it for herself, but it was really for her boyfriend, Marcus Wheeler. Wheeler would later use it to shoot and kill Officer Kerrie Orozco in May 2015.

A federal judge handed down a sentence of one year probation for the crime. Johnson faces no jail time. She must complete 40 hours of community service and 180 days of home confinement. The maximum sentence would have been 10 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.

At Sol's Jewelry and Loans in Omaha, John Dineen said the sentence was surprising. "Definitely was surprised by it I thought it should have been stricter on her," he told WOWT 6 News.
