The City Council’s Finance Committee on Monday authorized a $400,000 settlement to a man whose knees were fractured when he was run over by a speeding, unmarked SUV driven by a Chicago police officer.
The latest in a string of settlements tied to allegations of police wrongdoing goes to 46-year-old Darrin Johnson, who claims Officer Ronald Ayala was negligent in that he “failed to yield to a pedestrian, failed to keep a proper look out and was driving too fast.”
