Off-duty Cleveland detective convicted for bar brawl, ethnic intimidation
In Medina County, Ohio, a jury found Donald Kopchak guilty of four charges stemming from a bar brawl at Buzzards Roost Bar in April 2024. Kopchak, an off-duty Cleveland police detective, was accused of abduction, assault, and ethnic intimidation after targeting a man he suspected was in the country illegally. The victim, Yonas Bokredingil, testified for the prosecution, while Kopchaks partner, Portage County Deputy Daniel LaJack, pleaded guilty to attempted abduction in February. Kopchak faces sentencing on June 11th, and LaJack is next in court on April 2nd. This case serves as a reminder that badges do not grant immunity for unjustified physical altercations.
