TEMPE, AZ — A Black hotel employee who was mistakenly held at gunpoint in August by a Tempe police officer has reached a settlement with the city.
The Tempe City Council unanimously voted to award Trevonyae Cumpian a $300,000 settlement during its Wednesday meeting. Cumpian, who was employed by the Hawthorn Suites hotel when the incident took place, filed a lawsuit against the city and the officer involved in September.
Tempe Mayor Corey Woods applauded the decision in a statement posted to Twitter following the meeting.
