"David Eckert–the man who was stopped by police, suspected of drug possession, driven to a hospital, driven to a second hospital, forced to undergo multiple invasive surgeries, and billed for the abuse after no drugs were found–has obtained a $1.6 million settlement with New Mexico local authorities.The settlement between Eckert and police in Deming and Hidalgo County, New Mexico brings a measure of closure to the horrifying incident, said Eckert’s lawyer.
“He feels relieved that this part is over and believes this litigation might make sure this doesn’t happen to anyone else,” said Shannon Kennedy, Eckert’s lawyer, in a statement. (RELATED: Horror: Police force man to undergo invasive anal operation)"
