The trooper was giving him an out and he missed it. “Did you drink in the casino”. He could’ve said yes, I had five beers. Why would the trooper give him that opportunity? I hope this trooper gives every person he arrest this level of coddling
He was placed on 2 year probation. Assuming he doesn't get into trouble again his record will be wiped clean. His DL was suspended for 45 days. He was suspended from his own dept. for 3 days.
you should know better sheriff...they're your brothers, but not your buddies...don't assist them in their investigation...just shut up and kept you mouth closed...plead the 5th...now you just admitted the "couple of beers" you had, had to have been consumed at springfield country club and not the casino...which means you likely drove to the casino under the influence
Why did he go into his pockets? If he was not placed under arrest, he would simply be entertained, which is just a Terry frisk situation. I understand the punk sheriff drunk, but the punk state trooper really needs to go by what this punk sheriffs amendment rights are so I just saw a fourth amendment violation by the punk state cop they’re all punks.
Great job officer -much respect for putting your integrity above politics!
Stand up state cop. Way to protect the citizens 💯
Good job trooper holding him accountable as it should be driving drunk in a taxpayer funded vehicle
Another slap on the wrist when he should be fired and Licence taken away for at least a year. Pathetic.

Love the body cams! Shedding light where once it was dark.

Hampden County Sheriff Cocchi suspended for 3 days after arrest
what a joke.
@notredame59 yet it is the truth
He was pardoned by the Mayor(Sarno).
With pay😂😂😂
Lesson here…Drunk Sherriff should never talk to the police.
Sheriff needs to be fired. I know alot of "good men" in his county he had arrested for DUI. No sympathy 😂😂😂
No one is above the law... Let's hope. #proctor
Was this a state trooper or a Springfield police officer who arrested him?
to me, it seems that it was the trooper
MSP.
0:34 he signals the bodycam
He needs to resign
What a moron. He doesn’t know enough to not answer questions. Refuse everything. Admit nothing.

He also lied to the MSP, which is making a false statement. When he said, he wasn't driving.
Give the guy a break. He’s the sheriff and not even operating the vehicle. He had a couple of shots when he walked in the casino.
How could a cop turn on another cop? The arresting officers should be ashamed.

at that point he was under arrest, he can go into his pockets.
did you mean "detained", rather than "entertained" ?
he was in cuffs, so he was apparently arrested, which gives the cop the right to search him
