A federal court jury in Cedar Rapids awarded no money to Refugio Martinez after his claim that two city officers John M White and William Hintz used unnecessary force during his arrest in 1982. Martinez alleged the officers dragged him by the hair and throat and Hintz pressed his chest. The defense said Martinez was intoxicated, though witnesses testified he was not. The jury rejected the claim.
