The city of Denver has agreed to settle an excessive force lawsuit against two of its police officers for $60,000.

The City Council approved the payout Monday for the lawsuit filed on behalf of Seryina Trujillo against Denver officer James Medina, who was fired, Cheryl Smith, a current officer, and former chief Robert White.

Following a July 2014 arrest, Medina pinned Trujillo’s neck with his knee as he attempted to remove her belt and shoes while in a holding cell, according to prior reports.

Trujillo had been detained after a struggle with Denver cops when they were attempting to transport two men to a detox unit. Trujillo spit on Smith, which led Smith to curse and call Trujillo names, push her face into the ground and drag her by her arms before throwing her in a patrol vehicle, according to previous reports.

Trujillo was charged with assault on a peace officer, inference and resisting. She ultimately pleaded guilty to third-degree assault, according to court records.

Medina was fired in March 2015 for excessive force and failing to report it. A disciplinary report said that Trujillo kicked Medina in the face when she was being placed in the patrol car during her arrest, and the officer then punched her.

Smith is still employed at the police department, according to Denver police.

The struggle between Medina and Trujillo was recorded by a video camera in the holding cell. It shows Medina pinning Trujillo and her going limp.

Medina was reinstated after a civil service determined that city officials violated his rights to due process. But in March 2016, he was fired for a second time.

David Lane, a Denver civil rights attorney, said the settlement did what was intended — it resolved the case for Trujillo.

“That’s what a settlement does — we take less than we think we deserve, they pay more than they think we deserve,” he said.

Though the lawsuit called for training changes for Denver cops, Lane said the training appears to have been adequate for the situation — it just wasn’t followed.
