DAYTON, Ohio (AP) - A former inmate who sued a county jail in Ohio alleging a male corrections officer took her to the floor after she asked for milk instead of juice at breakfast has reached a settlement with county officials.
The Dayton Daily News reports Montgomery County officials and Marsha Pate-Strickland’s attorney confirmed a settlement in the federal lawsuit.
Security camera video of the 2015 confrontation showed the 60-year-old woman and the officer talking before she pulls away and he grabs her by the arm, taking her to the floor.
