Former cop
sentenced in bar brawl
A former Denver
police officer has been sentenced for an incident that occurred
while he was working off-duty providing security for a Denver
restaurant last summer. He broke up a bar fight but was
then accused of hitting a 25-year-old man after the altercation
had ended and the man was already handcuffed.
Michael Rossi
(DOB: 08-30-64) pleaded guilty earlier to third-degree assault.
As part of the plea agreement, Rossi was required to resign from
the Denver Police Department. He was also sentenced to a
one-year deferred judgment supervised by the probation
department and was ordered to complete 40 hours of community
service work and pay $331 in court fees and costs.
