City councilors voted to back the agreement to settle Dalvin Gadson’s lawsuit, which still needs to be formally signed, city spokesperson Max D’Onofrio said.
This video still from body camera footage released by Colorado Springs police shows the Oct. 9 arrest of Dalvin Gadson after Gadson’s attorneys called for a criminal investigation into how the officers treated him. Gadson’s attorneys said he was racially profiled but an administrative review by the police department found officers’ actions were within policy. Colorado Springs leaders agreed Tuesday to pay $2.
According to the lawsuit, two officers punched him in the face and one of them put his knee into Gadson’s forehead, causing him to fall back into the car. Gadson was originally charged with two felony assault charges and two misdemeanors, obstructing a peace officer and resisting arrest, but prosecutors soon dismissed the felony charges. The misdemeanors were also later dropped, one of Gadson’s lawyers, Harry Daniels, said. In the end, Gadson only had to pay a $15 fine for not displaying a license plate, he said.
