Lorain settles civil rights suit over 2009 arrest
The city of Lorain agreed to pay Willie Banks 55000 to end a federal lawsuit arising from officer Dennis Camarillo's Oct 8 2009 arrest for alleged crack cocaine possession. Banks says the charges were dropped after a lab found no drugs. The city previously paid 25000 in 2003 to settle a DUI case. Banks criticizes police actions while city officials defend the conduct.
