4 East Cleveland officers indicted for assaulting victims after traffic stops in March and April. FBI probing city for corruption and civil rights violations.
EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio — Two East Cleveland Police officers who were charged last month were indicted on additional charges Tuesday for an on-duty incident during which a man being arrested was assaulted, and two other East Cleveland officers were indicted for a separate incident in which a man who was not resisting officers’ commands was also assaulted, according to a news release from Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley.
Mundson attempted to stop a 32-year-old man in East Cleveland and was joined in his pursuit by Stoll, 33-year-old Daniel Toomer and 32-year-old Kyle Wood, O’Malley said. The pursuit ended near Galewood Avenue and Ingalton Avenue in Cleveland, and the 32-year-old victim was arrested on scene. After the arrest, Wood falsely radioed dispatch and said that the victim had hit the front of his cruiser and was resisting arrest. Mundson’s report reflected this narrative, O’Malley stated.
When he was back at the police station, Stoll took the victim’s phone, which the victim had been using to attempt to record the incident, and smashed it multiple times, bending it and cracking the screen, the release states. After the pursuit, Stoll forcefully removed the victim from the car, and Wood physically assaulted him, the release states. Stoll then forced the victim in the back of the policer cruiser.
I have many good officers that perform their duites with honor and integrity. East Cleveland Acting Police Chief Brian Gerhard All four officers will be arraigned at a later date, O’Malley said.
