'So abusive that it shocks the conscience': Read the indictment against Springfield police officers Gregg Bigda and Steven Vigneault
Updated Posted
Springfield police officer Gregg A. Bigda's interrogation of teenage suspects at the Palmer police station in 2016 was "so abusive that it shocks the conscience," according to a federal indictment.
A federal grand jury handed up the indictment charging Bigda and former officer Steven M. Vigneault, who resigned in 2016, with depriving the suspects their rights under the color of law. The teens allegedly stole an unmarked police vehicle that Vigneault left running outside a Worthington Street pizza shop.
