Incident Description

According to CRB complaint, RPD Officer Coriddi allegedly punched a civilian in the back, slammed a vehicle door on her legs, sprayed her with Cap-Stun for no reason, and slammed her head on the vehicle doorframe several times, and also listed the civilian's shirt and bra in the process. This happened while civilian's vehicle stalled and she was trying to call a tow truck.

Outcome

CRB and PSS exonerated the officer on some allegations of force, and found others unprovable. The CRB found that Coriddi did improperly tow the civilian's vehicle. "The CRB believes that Officer Coriddi's poor responses at the scene of the incident escalated the chaino f events taht occured. The officer poorly executed the use of Cap-Stun where verbal warnings could have been used." CRB recommended additional training, but it is unclear if this or any other disciplinary outcome was ever implemented.
