By JAIMIE DING, Associated PressLOS ANGELES — A woman who was knocked unconscious and arrested by two sheriff’s deputies in Northern California after stopping to change drivers during a family trip in 2020 has reached a $17 million settlement with the county, her lawyer said Monday.
The Solano County Sheriff’s Department and a spokesperson for the county did not immediately respond to emailed requests for comment after business hours Monday evening.
The lawsuit also accused the deputies of lying on their arrest reports about Porter fighting them and the length of time she was unconscious.
Porter alleged the deputies punched her in the head and the stomach, kneeled on her back and pulled her hair.
“These deputies treated us less than human and left a void we are still struggling to fill,” Porter said in Monday’s news release.
