Jul. 7—Jurors have awarded $1.5 million to a man who was run over by a Tacoma police officer in 2014.
Emanuel N. Andrade sued the Police Department, the city and Officer Luke Faulkner. He alleged the officer was messaging a coworker on his computer about meal plans when he slowly rolled over Andrade, who had been lying in the street after a night of drinking.
Jurors returned their verdict July 1 after several days of deliberation and two and a half weeks of trial in Pierce County Superior Court.
