Police in Omaha handed out 20 citations for trespassing in city parks over last weekend, just days after Mayor Jean Stothert ordered the parks closed amid complaints they were too crowded.

The tickets were issued last Saturday and Sunday, with the largest share – eight citations – being handed out in northeastern Omaha’s Hummel Park, police said.

Two people also were cited on the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge that links Omaha to Council Bluffs. The others were handed out in Adams, Levi Carter, Miller, Memorial and Robert’s parks.
