East Cleveland, Ohio, mayor: 2 officers fired, could face charges
(CNN)Two police officers in East Cleveland, Ohio, are out of a job after a robbery suspect alleged they beat him up and pushed him down a cliff after arresting him.
Police fired the officers, and the case has been referred to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, Mayor Gary Norton said. He declined to provide details about the alleged misconduct but said the officers could face a range of charges, including police brutality, kidnapping and assault.

There must have been more to it to fire them than "alleged" statements.

That is what I am thinking as well. The article does say the mayor declined to provide details about the case, so we will have to assume they had some pretty concrete evidence to fire them so quickly.
