An Ada County judge decided that a man who was beaten so severely by a Meridian police officer that he needed facial reconstruction surgery will spend at least a few years in prison. Boise resident Colt Seward was arrested in May 2023 after officers found him “passed out behind the wheel” in a traffic lane with his engine running near the intersection of North Ten Mile Road and West Ustick Road in Meridian, police said in a news release at the time.
