The settlement stems from a lawsuit brought by the family of 32-year-old Lucky Phounsy, who died following his April 13, 2015, arrest in Santee.
Phounsy's family alleged in its lawsuit that while in the midst of a mental health crisis, he was shocked with a stun gun, repeatedly struck and hogtied by responding deputies.
The suit alleged the deputies escalated the situation by agitating an already paranoid Phounsy, who was suffering from delusions that someone was going to harm him and his family.Last year, a second San Diego federal jury awarded Phounsy's family $85 million, an amount that U.S. District Judge Marilyn Huff later threw out, ruling it was"far out of proportion to the evidence.
