Report details misconduct within Butler Police Department

The former Village of Butler  Wisconsin police chief, along with several members of his staff, regularly viewed pornography at work, with one officer beginning his day calling it "porn in the morn," according to a 365-page report released Thursday by the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department. Chief Michael Cosgrove retired in March as the inquiry was being conducted. The review confirmed several complaints leveled against Cosgrove, including that Cosgrove accessed pornographic materials on his Police Department computer and used racially derogatory language in emails to employees, including using the N-word.Cosgrove admitted he used the racial slur and defined it as "people who don't fulfill their societal obligations or someone who abuses the system" and could be of any race, according to the report.

The report found:

Lt. Brian Pergande engaged in "misconduct in office," though the details were redacted in the report released to the public. He also was found to have improper pictures on his work email, to have used racial comments and to have misused the TIME system — a state-run crime information system — to check criminal histories of individuals for personal use.

Officer Chad Rahn acted improperly while on duty, having exposed his penis multiple times. He also used the TIME system for personal use and created an uncomfortable work environment, according to the report.

Officers Joel Fus and Rick Napierala had improperly used department equipment.

Sheriff's Department investigators found a wallet used as a piece of evidence in a case during the 1990s on Cosgrove's desk, three loaded and unsecured guns in Cosgrove's office, and learned that the department did not have a policy for returning firearms that it held for safekeeping.

Federal Jury Finds Meriden cop Guilty of Using Unreasonable Force, Obstructing Justice

U.S. Attorney’s Office June 03, 2013      

Deirdre M. Daly, Acting United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, and Kimberly K. Mertz, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, today announced that a federal jury in New Haven has found Meriden Police Officer Evan Cossette, 26, guilty of one count of using unreasonable force and one count of obstructing a federal investigation by preparing a false report. The trial before United States District Judge Janet Bond Arterton began on May 28, and the jury returned its verdict this afternoon after deliberating for less than three hours.

According to evidence at trial, on May 1, 2010, Cossette and another Meriden Police officer responded to a reported hit-and-run incident. After identifying “P.T.” as the driver likely involved in the hit-and-run incident, the officers placed him under arrest. Cossette transported P.T. to the Meriden Police Department and escorted a compliant and handcuffed P.T. from the squad car to the holding cell. Once inside the holding cell, Cossette firmly shoved a retreating P.T., causing him to fall backward and strike his head on a cement cell bench. P.T. suffered a 12-centimeter gash to the back of his head and lost consciousness. P.T. was then transported to the hospital for treatment.

Cossette obstructed justice by making false and misleading statements, as well as material omissions, in his report relating to the arrest and processing of P.T. in order to cover up and create a false justification for his assault upon P.T.

“We thank the members of the jury for their thoughtful consideration of the evidence,” stated Acting U.S. Attorney Daly. “Our system of justice cannot tolerate abuses by police officers, and today’s verdict helps preserve the integrity of a profession that is entrusted with protecting our liberties as well as our safety.”

“As law enforcement officers, we are measured by a higher standard because we are both sworn and privileged to uphold the United States Constitution,” stated FBI Special Agent in Charge Mertz. “We must meet that standard with unfailing integrity and honor. Those who cannot meet that essential standard should not be wearing a badge. While there is no joy in today’s guilty verdict, we know that justice has been served.”

Judge Arterton has scheduled sentencing for August 28, 2013, at which time Cossette faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 30 years.
