(1740) King City – A judge approved a lawsuit settlement today (on Monday) that requires the city of King City to pay $1.23 million to victims of a police towing scene. The class action lawsuit was filed in 2014 after six King City police officers were arrested for towing the vehicles of innocent victims. As part of the scheme, the offending officers pulled over drivers for minor traffic violations and towed the cars to a yard owned by Brian Miller, the brother of the acting police chief at the time. The city is still struggling to find leadership in the department since the police scandal.
