Wichita to consider 37500 settlement over 2008 arrest
The Wichita City Council will weigh paying 37500 to settle a lawsuit from the 2008 arrest of Justin Roberts of Pratt County. The suit alleges officers kicked him and used a stun gun after he hid under a children's pool, with Roberts seeking medical help as officers reportedly laughed. Roberts sustained broken ribs and was moved from jail to a hospital. City officials say at least one officer used a stun gun but deny other claims.
