Hubbard and Tirado were pulled over for traffic violations.
“This settlement represents some hard-won justice for Richard Hubbard and Yolimar Tirado. Now they can move towards closure. Thankfully Richard didn’t die and he wasn’t permanently injured. In this respect, Euclid dodged a bullet with Richard’s case. The City of Euclid and cities across this country need to look take a long, hard look at the culture inside their police departments and hopefully learn from this awful episode,” said Attorney Paul Cristallo.
