A former Waco Police officer who was convicted of chocking a suspect in 2016 was given probation on Monday.

McLennan County 19th District Judge Ralph Strother gave probation to George Neville. He was convicted of assault and official oppression in June.

Neville will also be allowed to keep his peace officer’s license.

This comes after a pre-sentencing investigation ordered by Judge Strother.
