LOS ANGELES (AP) — A woman punched repeatedly by a California Highway Patrol officer on the side of a freeway in an incident caught on video will receive $1.5 million under a settlement, and the officer has agreed to resign.
CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow confirmed the settlement in an emailed statement and an attorney for Marlene Pinnock confirmed the dollar amount for The Associated Press.
"When this incident occurred, I promised that I would look into it and vowed a swift resolution," Farrow's statement said. "Today, we have worked constructively to reach a settlement agreement that is satisfactory to all parties involved."
The statement said that Officer Daniel Andrew, who joined the CHP in 2012 and has been on paid administrative leave since the incident, "has elected to resign."
Andrew could still be charged criminally in the case. The CHP forwarded the results of its investigation of the incident to Los Angeles County prosecutors last month, saying he could face serious charges but none have been filed yet.
he should be charged he committed the crime so far only the state has been punished paying him while on paid leave and now paying her for his actions and he gets to quit and walk away. good punitive for Ms. Pinnock but it doesn't take the hurt out of her ordeal. he needs to get time and not the protected kind his crime and the impunity with which he carried it out deserves general population incarceration make an example for those cops who think they can beat American citizens get paid and then get hired again in a place like Ferguson, MO.
I would like to know what was investigated due process should have been achieved at the viewing of the video
