Published: October 10, 2007
CASSELBERRY - Relatives of a boy who nearly drowned in a backyard pool say they are being sued by a Casselberry police officer who helped rescue the child.
Sgt. Andrea Eichhorn is suing the family of 1-year-old Joey Cosmillo, saying she slipped in water and broke her knee the day the boy nearly drowned.
Eichhorn filed the lawsuit last week against the boy's mother and grandparents.
According to her suit, they did not clean up the water that caused her fall.
Joey now receives 24-hour care at a nursing home and needs breathing and feeding tubes.
Police Chief John Pavli says Eichhorn was off the job for two months after breaking her knee.
