Man tackled by Dearborn police officer awarded $9.3 million

A Wayne County jury has ruled against a Dearborn Police Department officer for violating constitutional rights after an arrest in 2018, awarding the 25-year-old plaintiff with $9.3 million. The confrontation began in a White Castle when 20-year-old Luther Gonzalez-Hall was lost riding his bike home from a friend's house. He went inside and asked the employees for directions after asking a nearby police officer the same question.
