LOVELAND – An excessive force lawsuit filed against the city of Loveland and four of its police officers has been settled for $290,000.
Preston Sowl of Loveland claimed the officers violated his constitutional rights by detaining and injuring him after he declined to talk to them while at the scene of an accident in September 2019, according to the Loveland Reporter-Herald. The lawsuit alleged that Sowl declined to provide more information when asked by one of the officers and was injured while being detained.
