A Guadalupe man run over by a Maricopa County Sheriff’s deputy during a traffic stop last year will receive $600,000 in a settlement of his lawsuit.
Armando L. Nido didn’t pull over for deputy James Carey, (see our post about Nido’s notice of claim), so Carey didn’t stop for Nido. He hit Nido with his squad car, pinning him underneath.
Carey broke his ribs, tailbone and pelvis, and needed skin grafts on his butt. Does anyone still wonder why the Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s office is being investigated for “discriminatory police conduct?”
The Arizona Republic has Deputy Chief Jack MacIntyre, (supposedly, one of the good guys from the scandalous, tell-all memo by Deputy Chief Frank Munnell), tossing Carey to the wolves:
When news happens, Phoenix New Times is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Blocking the vehicle is one thing, running the person over is another. I’m glad that we could resolve this at this point in time. There’s no reason to continue litigation.
Carey is said to have resigned.
