Officers Paul Bradley Rogers and Robert Shawn Richardson were placed on probation and ordered to relinquish their police certifications.

Richardson, who gave the order to fire the shots, was handed a 5-year term. Rogers, who actually fired the shot, was given 2 years.

Richardson and Rogers, along with former Police Chief Ben Daves and another Noble police officer who was at the scene that day, were fired two months after Austin’s death.

Six years ago, 5-year old Austin was accidentally shot and killed while fishing with his grandfather at a family pond... Austin's dad, Jack said, "I hate to dredge this up again. But here we are six years later, and we're finding out the shooter, Brad Rogers, his records have been expunged."

Both officers pleaded "no contest" to second degree involuntary manslaughter. And it's true. Officer Roger's record has been cleared... The Cleveland County DA, Greg Mashburn told us, "providing all requirements were met on the deferred sentence, the case could be updated to say "pled not guilty, case dismissed."
