  • An Army lieutenant pepper-sprayed by Virginia police during a traffic stop was awarded $3,600

    A US Army officer who was pepper sprayed, pushed to the ground and handcuffed by Windsor, Virginia, police officers during a 2020 traffic stop was awarded around $3,600 Tuesday in a lawsuit that was seeking $1 million in compensatory damages.
    Second Lt. Caron Nazario, who is Black and Latino, filed the suit in 2021 claiming that the two police officers violated his rights guaranteed under the First and Fourth Amendments during the traffic stop.

    On Tuesday, Nazario was awarded $2,685 in compensation for damages after a jury determined former Windsor police officer Joe Gutierrez assaulted the Army officer. The jury also determined that Officer Daniel Crocker must pay $1,000 in punitive damages for an illegal search of his vehicle, court documents show.

    Man, only 3600 dollars? That's nothing.

      Wow that'll just pretty much only cover his legal fees.

        I thought law enforcement and military personnel were allies. Not this case.

          If that's the most he's getting I'd sue for legal fees too. But I guess the latino community chose not to support him in the case.
