The Allen County Council will use taxpayer money to settle a lawsuit filed against Allen County Sheriff David Gladieux. Last month, a settlement was reached between Gladieux and the family of a teenager who was injured in a scuffle with the sheriff during the Three Rivers Festival last year. His attorney, Cal Miller, argued that the settlement saved the County money. The County will pay the family $55,000 to settle the $300,000 lawsuit, which was for medical costs and other damages. The Council says they’ll ask Gladieux to pay back the settlement amount.
