Grayson Dennis will be seeking as much as $1 million in compensation for his physical injuries resulting from a tasing incident involving three Craig police officers, significantly higher than what the city paid another plaintiff making similar claims.
The city of Craig agreed to a $60,000 settlement with a man who sued two of its police officers in July 2020 over a tasering episode in July 2018, though the agreement noted the payment “is not to be construed as an admission of liability by the defendants.”
The agreement also said “neither the Incident nor Lawsuit shall constitute evidence of a pattern or practice of peace officers depriving a person of his or her civil rights under the federal and/or state Constitution.”
