The Latest Stories For You From Salem Reporter
Good morning, Salem.
The city of Salem will pay $95,000 in a settlement with a Salem man who alleged in a lawsuit that police grabbed him as he was gambling in a north Salem Bar in 2018, tackled him to the ground and struck him during his arrest.
Jose Carmona-Perez’s suit alleged that he was injured as a result of “a pattern and practice of unconstitutional conduct” by the city of Salem, including failing to adequately train officers, ensure he received proper instructions in Spanish, enforce procedures for non-English speakers being arrested and discipline the officers after an internal review. Carmona-Perez had been indicted on charges related to domestic violence.
The Salem City Council on Monday, Nov. 13, will vote on authorizing City Manager Keith Stahley to make the payment. Learn more about the settlement below.
