Posted on
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Michael Clark, the 76-year old who sued Idaho Springs Colorado and three of the city’s police officers after one of them fired a Taser at him without warning and placed a knee on the back of his neck while he lay unconscious, settled his lawsuit for $7 million, his attorney announced Wednesday. The settlement is the largest in Colorado history for a civil rights case that did not involve a wrongful death, Clark’s attorney Sarah Schielke said. Clark suffered medical complications after being shocked with the Taser that made him unable to live independently, Schielke said at a news conference.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A lawsuit filed in El Paso County last week alleges that a Colorado Springs police officer pepper sprayed a 17-year-old girl twice while she was handcuffed in the backseat of a police car. The lawsuit alleges that on Oct. 17, 2020, Amara Keens-Dumas was approached by officers Ryan Yoshimiya and Brianna Ragsdale around 3 a.m. after someone told police that Keens-Dumas had gotten into a verbal altercation with her boyfriend. Officers responded to the scene but were asked by Keens-Dumas' brother to leave. But 45 minutes later the officers returned to the house when Keens-Dumas began crying in the street, the lawsuit states.
