Settlement Reached

Topic: Settlement Reached
A settlement has been reached between Prince George's County and a man who was allegedly beaten without provocation by one of the county's police officers in December 2007. According to the lawsuit, Robert L. Scott Jr. was severely beaten outside a Bladensburg nightclub by a police officer who claimed he was "resisting arrest." The lawsuit also claims the officer conspired with another to falsely charge Scott with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. The charges were dropped when the officers failed to show up for trial. The settlement figure was $100,000. - Ruben Castaneda, The Washington Post
My comment: I handle these type of cases. Security guards at nightclubs are frequently not trained and violence-prone with no judgment. Sometimes, they have anger management issues which come out when dealing with innocent patrons. If you or someone you know was injured through the actions of a nightclub security guard, you should contact me immediately to find out whether there is a case worth pursuing.
