Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Wood partially refuses to find in favor of the city and two police officers in a civil rights and negligence action brought by the father after his son's death. The son crashed into a tree during a high-speed chase that occurred after he was stopped by police for a broken tail light. The city is not entitled to sovereign immunity from the father's claims. A reasonable jury could find based on body camera footage that one officer lied about the son having and pulling a gun out of his pocket during the traffic stop. A reasonable jury could also find that the other officer knowingly adopted and perpetuated the first officer's alleged lies and that the officers engaged in the high-speed chase with an intent to physically harm the son. However, the city's motion for summary judgment on the punitive damages claim is granted.
