A 73-year-old woman with dementia who was seen in disturbing body-cam video being pushed to the ground and handcuffed by police in Loveland, Colorado, will receive $3 million from the city to settle a lawsuit brought on her behalf.
Last summer, Karen Garner was accused of attempting to shoplift $14 worth of items from a Walmart. She was arrested while walking down a country road carrying wild flowers and during the arrest she suffered a broken arm.
Garner’s family says she didn’t understand what was happening because of her dementia.
