MINNEAPOLIS – The City of Minneapolis is paying a woman $600,000 to settle a lawsuit accusing ex-officer Derek Chauvin of excessive force.
Former city employee Patty Day was arrested by Chauvin in January of 2020. Video shows Chauvin unlock her driver’s side door, pull her out of her vehicle, and throw her to the ground.
Day’s attorney claims Chauvin pressed his knee into her back while she was handcuffed – similar to the move Chauvin used on George Floyd.
DWI charges against Day were dropped after a judge ruled Chauvin didn’t have probable cause to arrest her.
