Joanna Atnip, who claimed she was flung down on her back porch and arrested after not allowing her adult daughter in the house, has settled a civil lawsuit against Sheriff Blake Dorning and two of his deputies.

Both sides say the details of the settlement are confidential.

Chief Deputy David Jernigan said on Monday that the insurance company handled the settlement. He said he had no additional details. When asked, Jernigan said the case did not result in any departmental discipline.

Neal Conner in Guntersville, Atnip's attorney, said late Monday: "We have arrived at a settlement, but there is a nondisclosure agreement and we cannot discuss any details."

Atnip was arguing with her adult daughter at her home in Hazel Green on July 28, 2013, when deputies Jake Church and Ryan Koch arrived.

The daughter, who did not live at the house, had stayed with Atnip for two weeks before staying with her boyfriend for the weekend. She came back to retrieve some items for her baby. Atnip refused to let her enter. The daughter called police.

Both sides agree the deputies ordered the daughter to go into the house to get her stuff. Deputies wrote in their arrest report that the daughter told them the back door was unlocked so they escorted her into the backyard and told her to enter.

Atnip stood in the way on the back porch. The suit says Atnip held out her arms with her palm out and did not touch her daughter. The arrest report instead says Atnip "grabbed the Victim with both hands on her arm," prompting the arrest for domestic violence. According to the lawsuit, the daughter says that her mother did not touch her.

Deputy Koch wrote that Atnip "slapped at" him and pulled away when he tried to arrest her, so both deputies "took the offender to the ground."

Atnip was charged with resisting arrest and domestic violence. The charges were dropped after the deputies twice failed to appear in court to testify.

Atnip sued deputies Church and Koch in federal court last year for excessive force and failure to protect. She also sued Sheriff Dorning on claims including those related to training of deputies.

Attorneys for the county argued, among other things, that Dorning had no actual role in the incident and moved to drop him from the case. The court agreed that Dorning had immunity on most claims. But the district court in March allowed the excessive force and failure to protect claims against the two deputies to go forward.

That decision was appealed to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. The case never reached trial. On June 23, the county filed a short brief with the appeals court saying in part: "The underlying matters at issue in this case have been settled and all parties agree that this appeal should be dismissed."

Jeff Rich, in-house attorney for Madison County, said the sheriff's department was insured by One Beacon Insurance Group and the settlement was reached during mediation while the case was on appeal. He had no further details.

The insurer for the Madison County Sheriff's Department last year paid $625,000 in a public settlement with Robert Bryant, a mechanic from Kelso, Tenn., who claimed in federal court he was stopped, beaten and arrested by deputies in revenge for a bar fight. The FBI last August announced it was investigating the incident but has yet to announce any findings.

The same department still faces an excessive force lawsuit by an electrical engineer who was tased during his housewarming party. The department also faces a series of lawsuits over claims of inadequate medical care in relation to inmates who have died in the local jail.
