The Denver City Council approved a settlement of $500,000 for an
excessive force and malicious prosecution case against Denver police on
Monday. The payout was approved for the lawsuit filed by Kristyn
Stonskas and Quennel Steele against the Denver Police Department from an
incident that happened on January 26, 2017. Stonskas and Steele say DPD
severely beat them outside of their Denver home, in front of their
children. The attorney representing them says there was no legal basis
for an arrest, based on body camera footage that was captured by the
officers involved. Attorneys say officers involved caused a torn
vertebra in Stonskas' neck and a collapsed lung, fractured rib and brain
injury in Steele. Steele was charged with interference with police and
resisting arrest. He took his case to trial and was found not guilty.
Stonkskas was charged with second degree assault and all her charges
were eventually dropped, attorneys say.
