Civil Plaintiff
City of Madison, WI to Pay $1.1M Over Police Tactics Used to Detain Teen
Representatives of the city of Madison agreed to a $1.1 million settlement in a federal lawsuit over the police tactics used in detaining a teenager during a mental health crisis.
The lawsuit filed by David Clash-Miller of Madison was over the videotaped actions of police officers in their encounter with Clash-Miller in June 2019.
The settlement comes the same week Clash-Miller was jailed and criminally charged with making threats against students on the UW-Madison campus.
