Photos of Lecheminant in the aftermath show his scarred, bloody face with swollen, blackened eyes. He suffered a broken nose, punctured ear drum and concussion, according to a lawsuit Lecheminant filed against the police department. “This is a man who was absolutely pummeled, absolutely pummeled,” Decker told KDVR.
