Officer Craig Sammon has faced multiple allegations of misconduct. In 2016, he was accused of striking a man with a flashlight or baton 85 to 90 times during a disorderly call at Legends Bar & Grill. The department denied the allegations, stating that an internal investigation cleared Sammon of wrongdoing. In 2021, he was disciplined for using excessive force against a veteran suffering from severe PTSD at Mayo Clinic Hospital-Saint Marys. Despite these incidents, Sammon remains employed with the Rochester Police Department.
