The report from The Office of the Independent Police Review Director concludes that Tanner Currie's complaint against Christopher Labreche is unsubstantiated.

Currie alleges Labreche used excessive force against him in June of 2014.

In a video taken at police headquarters, Labreche is seen throwing Currie, face-first, into a window.

The glass then shatters and Currie is brought into a holding cell.

The case against Labreche is still going through the courts.
