Bellevue man accused of offering $5,000 bounty to cut off stepson's testicles

Omaha police officers were called to a meatpacking company near 36th and J Streets about 9:15 p.m. Monday to investigate a report of threats. A 27-year-old Bellevue man showed officers a screenshot of his stepfather’s Facebook post offering a $5,000 bounty on him.

Police learned that a Douglas County judge had issued the stepson a protection order against the stepfather earlier that day. The protection order said the stepfather had come to the stepson’s workplace at least twice and threatened him over issues that he was having with his wife, the stepson’s mother.

Officers found the stepfather about 10 p.m. Monday. The man told police that had posted the offer and that he wanted someone to “chop off” his stepson’s testicles because he could not do it himself.
