Tort Claim Filed Against Boise Police

Gerald Amidon has filed a Tort Claim against the Boise Police Department and Officers Cory Bammert, Deidra Harr, Guy McKean; Mark Abercrombi and "Officer #10." It is not clear which of the named officers is "Officer #3" as the Tort Claim only alleges that Mr. Amidon was tased and then threatened by "one of the officers" or "an unknown officer." However, Officer Bammert's police report is attached to the Tort Claim. He states that "Officer McKean advised he was drive stunning Amidor with the taser." Officer Bammert's report also states that he and Sgt. Stevens interviewed Mr. Amidon and that both he and the sergeant audio recorded the interview. (This gives us a clue about who Officer #10 might be.)
