A former Lynwood police officer has been charged with aggravated battery and official misconduct for allegedly punching a handcuffed suspect in the face, rendering him unconscious in the garage of the south suburb's police station.
Sgt. Brandin Fredericksen, of Lowell, Indiana, has since been fired for the Sept. 20, 2013, incident that left Randolph Holmes with a broken nose and concussion, Cook County prosecutors said.
Fredericksen, 33, was given $10,000 bail when he appeared at the Markham courthouse before Judge Frank Zelezinski.
