Oct 31, 2024, 04:00 PM

A Kissimmee police officer, Andrew Baseggio, has been accused of attacking a man inside his home, with allegations that other officers attempted to cover up the incident. Florida State Attorney Andrew Bain announced the findings of a Grand Jury, which detailed a 'culture of cover-up' within the Kissimmee Police Department. The Grand Jury's investigation led to the indictment of Baseggio for excessive-force and implicated the now-former police chief and other officers in the cover-up. The findings have raised significant concerns about misconduct and accountability within the department.
