POLICE MISCONDUCT CASE SETTLES TWO BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE TRIAL
August 07, 2013
Steven Haynes, Clarksdale, Mississippi, settled his claims against two Clarksdale police officers for unreasonable seizure and use of excessive force. The case arose out of a February, 2010 arrest and prosecution of Haynes on misdemeanor and felony charges. He stood trial on both charges in the municipal and circuit courts. The municipal judge never ruled and the circuit judge dismissed the felony charge after the State rested its case. The federal civil rights case has followed. Haynes is represented by Attorney Ron Lewis of Oxford.
