A woman who complained of Plainfield police misconduct in 2011 will receive a settlement of $600,000.
Kimah Connelly filed a lawsuit in 2013 alleging, among other things, violation of her civil and constitutional rights resulting from the July 2011 incident. While the resolution up for a City Council vote Monday does not spell out details, the date of the incident is the same cited in the sentencing of a former police sergeant who was found guilty in 2013 of official misconduct.
The settlement will be paid with $30,000 from the city's self-insurance fund and $570,000 from the Joint Insurance Fund and the Municipal Excess Liability Residual Claims Fund.

Maybe a investigation is warranted into Plainfield police department.

DeleteThe cop who has since been convicted and is serving prison time. He was promoted by none other than your own SRB even though she was asked not to because of his past police record. Maybe, just maybe, Director Riley was handed a "leaky bag" and is doing a great job fixing the place. Oh and the convicted Sergeant's promotion was championed by a Lieutenant who has been indicted for theft. And that Lieutenant was promoted by you guessed it SRB. And she skipped to get to him.
