Cop Arrest Wrong Man, Fellow Officer Runs them Over

n La Crosse, Wisconsin, a police squad car accidentally ran over both a suspect and a police officer during an arrest at Trane Park. The incident left both men injured and later resulted in the City of La Crosse approving a $144,000 settlement.

The settlement was funded through the city’s insurance and reserve accounts, and was meant to compensate the suspect, Austin Clark, for the injuries he sustained. The officer involved was also hurt in the incident but was not part of the settlement.

This case drew attention because of the unusual circumstances — a backup squad car striking not only the suspect but also a fellow officer during the encounter.

The $144,000 payout highlights the financial impact of such incidents on municipalities and taxpayers.
