“Cossette was convicted by a federal jury in June during a trial that included police surveillance videotape of Cossette pushing a handcuffed Temich backwards in a holding cell. The push caused Temich to strike his head on a concrete bench and lose consciousness. Temich suffered a serious gash to the back of his head that required 12 stitches. The FBI began its investigation when former officer Brian Sullivan and officer Donald Huston complained to City Manager Lawrence Kendzior that Cossette had a pattern of using excessive force on prisoners but was getting favorable treatment because he was the chief’s son.”
