Carpentersville settles brutality suit
CARPENTERSVILLE – A Crystal Lake man will receive $50,000 in the settlement of a lawsuit against Carpentersville and its police department.
Johny Perez, 21, sued in August, alleging he was punched in the face by an officer and mistreated because of his race during a traffic stop in March 2011. Neither the village nor officer Alan Webb admitted any liability under the terms of the settlement.
Perez’s attorney, Jeannie Ridings, said her client feels the sum was sufficient for the damage he suffered.
