EUCLID, Ohio â The City of Euclid has agreed to settle with a man who was tased by police officers in 2016.
Euclid has agreed to pay Lamar Wright $475,000.
In 2016, two Euclid officers tased Wright after he pulled into a driveway to call his girlfriend.
Body camera footage of the confrontation shows Wright struggled to raise his arms because he was wearing a colostomy bag after a recent stomach surgery.
Wright filed a lawsuit against the city of Euclid, and police officers Kyle Flagg and Vashon Williams in 2017.
