police misconduct

Under Michael O'Malley, the prosecutor's office began collecting information on police officer misconduct and automatically turning that information over to defense.

The officers, Willie Sims and Alfonzo Cole, allegedly stole from people they had pulled over or during calls for service during 2020 and 2021.

The city of Cleveland released a statement saying the alleged misconduct was found after an internal investigation.

The director handed down light punishments without sufficient rational, the monitor wrote.
