“A former Bella Vista police officer who served jail time after shooting a suspect to death was sworn in as a police chief Monday night. A district court ruled that Brackney was to blame for the shooting death of James Ahern following a high-speed pursuit in January 2010. His negligent homicide conviction was a misdemeanor, so Brackney was spared prison time. ‘I told the guys the day I left I would be back, and I told them it may take me a while because it was going to be a long fight,’ Brackney told 5NEWS on Tuesday. ‘But I’m back.'”
