HARTLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich.
A woman who sued officers over the death of her father during an arrest for driving a bulldozer on an expressway has settled with two of them.
The deal came Tuesday before U.S. District Judge John Feikens in Detroit.
Amanda Landis settled with Livingston County sheriff's Deputy Jim Lynch and ex-Deputy Jason Baker. Terms weren't announced.
The case continues against state Trooper Greg Galarneau.
The suit says officers used excess force while arresting Charles Keiser, holding him face-down in a swamp on Thanksgiving 2004. It happened in Hartland Township, about 40 miles west-northwest of Detroit. Sheriff Bob Bezotte tells the Livingston County Daily Press & Argus in Howell the deputies acted appropriately.
