Cops arraigned for beating of prisoner
Two police constables accused of beating a prisoner were formally arraigned today. Alister Casey and John Myvette were charged with Wounding. They pled not guilty and were released on one thousand dollars bail. They will reappear on May seventh. The two cops are accused of beating Kevin “Possum” Dawson with clubs while he was being held in a cell at the Queen Street Police Station. Dawson, who had previously escaped from custody by swapping identities with a fellow prisoner, received cuts to the face, head, leg and arms.
