$260,000 Settlement Reached in Police Shooting

By Edward Bills

ADVERTISEMENTS

Julio Hernandez and Adriana Velasquez will split a $260,000 settlement from the city of Salinas to resolve a case where police officers opened fire on them during a traffic stop. The couple did not have any weapons, but one of the officers said he heard a noise and saw a flash in the car?s interior that led him to begin shooting. Officer Christopher Swanson has since been removed from duty and faces a felony charge of discharging a firearm in a negligent manner, although the city did not admit any fault as part of the settlement.
