GLENDALE, AZ — The City of Glendale has settled a years-long federal lawsuit against police officers who made up a blinker violation, unlawfully threatened a passenger with jail, and then tasered him nearly a dozen times.
The terms of the city’s settlement with Johnny Wheatcroft and his children are confidential and will be finalized after a probate judge’s approval, according to court records.
After a series of emails seeking comment, Glendale officials wrote, “We will have no further comment on this case now or in the future.”
A spokesperson would not provide ABC15 with the amount of the payout, the amount spent on litigation in the case, or explain the remaining steps for the city to complete the settlement.
