Grandma Unlawfully Arrested, Tased While Naked; Gets $2.4 Million Compensation From Colorado County
KEY POINTS
She was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, which were dismissed later
According to her lawyer, enforcement officers who believed they were above the law got smacked down hard by a jury.
A Colorado woman, who was unlawfully arrested while naked and tased after being strapped on a chair, was paid $2.4 million by Fremont County.
Carolyn O’Neal, now a grandmother, was 49 when the incident happened in 2014. Though a jury awarded her $3.6 million last year after she sued the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office, a federal judge later reduced the amount to $2.1 million, prompting both sides to appeal.
