In a confidential settlement a St. Louis area municipality paid a significant cash settlement in response to claims that the firm’s client had been wrongfully arrested and wrongfully charged by police for merely being a passenger in a car involved in a felony police chase. As a result of the wrongful arrest the Client was wrongfully jailed for more than 50-days and temporarily lost custody of her children. The settlement represented nearly twice the Client’s annual income.
