Legal Troubles Mount for Omaha Councilman and Former Police Captain.

A judge has postponed the detention ruling for Omaha City Councilman Vinny Palermo and two others facing federal charges until Friday. The decision will impact whether Palermo, who faces nine felony charges of wire and bank fraud, will be able to remain on the Omaha City Council or be kicked off due to extended absences while he’s in jail. Meanwhile, a recall petition process has already begun. The judge ruled that retired Omaha Police Capt. Richard “Richie” Gonzalez and Jack Olson, chief fundraiser for the Omaha chapter of the Latino Peace Officers Association, will remain locked up until she is able to read through the volumes of evidence.
