Taser lawsuit settled in Santa Paula

By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

The city of Santa Paula agreed to pay Andrew S. Hernandez $250,000 to settle a lawsuit he filed in federal court in Los Angeles.

The lawsuit alleges that in 2006 he was forcibly taken to the ground by Santa Paula police officers and stunned twice with a Taser. Hernandez suffered a back injury that was so bad he needed surgery, according to his attorneys.

The case was scheduled to go to trial Tuesday but was settled more than a week ago, according to Mark Pachowicz, one of Hernandez' attorneys.

As part of the settlement, however, the city did not admit fault.
