Salt Lake City, UT - A Salt Lake City man who sued a state trooper in federal court after she shocked him with her Taser during a traffic stop has received a $40,000 settlement in the case.
Ryan Jones filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in June claiming Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Lisa Steed pulled him over while he was driving March 28, 2009, on State Street near 2700 South. Jones alleged that when he told Steed he wanted to speak to an attorney, she became combative with him, according to court documents.
