AURORA, Colo. The City of Aurora has agreed to pay $285,000 to settle a police brutality lawsuit filed by 32-year old Jamie Torres.
The ACLU says Torres was illegally ordered out of his home and unjustifiably beaten by officers who were called to investigate a noise complaint back in 2016.
Body cam video shows Torres was in his garage with two other men, the door was open, and music was playing, when officers arrived.
