The Wichita City Council will consider Tuesday whether to pay $37,500 to settle a lawsuit stemming from the 2008 arrest of a man suspected of writing a bad check.
The Wichita Eagle reported that a man jumped out of a suspect’s car that was being trailed and ran.
The lawsuit says officers repeatedly kicked and used a stun gun on Justin Roberts, of Pratt County, after he was found hiding under a children’s swimming pool.
The suit say Roberts asked for medical help but that the officers laughed at the request.
Roberts was taken to jail, and from there to a hospital. Doctors said he had injuries including broken ribs.
The city has said at least one officer had used a stun gun on Roberts, but it denied other claims.
