Patrol officer for jaywalking settles for $1.5million as cop resigns - VIDEO

The punches thrown at Marlene Pinnock were filmed by a passing motorist, leading to the settlement as well as the decision by the officer, Daniel Andrew, to resign.CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow confirmed the settlement in an emailed statement and an attorney for Marlene Pinnock confirmed the dollar amount for The Associated Press. 'When this incident occurred, I promised that I would look into it and vowed a swift resolution,' Farrow's statement said.'Today, we have worked constructively to reach a settlement agreement that is satisfactory to all parties involved.' Andrew joined the CHP in 2012 and has been on paid administrative leave since the incident. Farrow says he 'has elected to resign,' though he could still be charged criminally.The CHP forwarded the results of its investigation of the incident to Los Angeles County prosecutors last month, saying he could face serious charges but none have been filed yet.The bulk of the settlement will take the form of a special needs trust for Pinnock, the CHP said.Pinnock's attorney Caree Harper said the settlement fulfilled the two elements her side was looking for.'One of the things we wanted to make sure of was that she was provided for in a manner that accommodated her unique situation in life,' Harper said, 'and that the officer was not going to be an officer anymore and we secured those things.'(dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.Az
