Two East Cleveland patrolmen have been fired amid allegations they drove a suspect to a city park and beat him.
The alleged attack left 28-year-old Jesse Nickerson hospitalized for parts of three days, his family and attorney said.
Patrolmen Gerald Spencer and Denayne Dixon were fired Thursday after a swift investigation by Police Chief Michael Cardilli. The firing was upheld by East Cleveland Mayor Gary Norton.
“At some point, police officers stopped being police officers, and that’s when we have to step in and police ourselves,” Cardilli said. “I think it goes to show we’re policing our own, and we’re not afraid to make hard decisions.”
