PORTLAND — A jury in Portland has awarded more than $562,000 to a man who said in his lawsuit that city police beat and used a stun gun on him without provocation after stopping him for investigation of drunken driving.
The Oregonian reported that jurors deliberated about 4½ hours before returning their verdict Monday in the case of Jason Cox.
Now 40, Cox testified that he thought he was going to be beaten to death after three officers took him into custody in a parking lot on June 28, 2011.
