Marlene Pinnock, the 51-year-old great-grandmother who was seen being punched by a California Highway Patrol officer last summer, will receive a $1.5 million settlement from the agency.
“When this incident occurred, I promised that I would look into it and vowed a swift resolution,” CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow said in a statement cited by KTLA. “Today, we have worked constructively to reach a settlement agreement that is satisfactory to all parties involved.”
In addition to Pinnock’s settlement, The Associated Press reports that the Officer Daniel Andrew will also resign.
