Rutland releases video of police abuse
April 4, 2010
An internal surveillance video is causing trouble for the already beleaguered Rutland, Vermont,Police Department.
The 40 minute video, obtained by the Rutland Herald, is from back in January. It shows former Rutland officer Michael Nesshoever firing a pepperball gun repeatedly at a restrained inmate in a holding cell. The officer reportedly fired nearly twenty rounds of the paint ball-like projectiles while other officers looked on and the inmate screamed.
After a two month internal investigation by the department Nesshoever resigned last month with no explanation from city officials. The Rutland Department is still reeling over the child porn investigation involving officer David Schauwecker.
