New Braunfels will pay $175,000 to Black man tased after being pulled over for dirty license plate
New Braunfels will pay $175,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by a Black man who alleges he was wrongfully pulled over by one of the city's police offers, yanked from his vehicle and tased twice, the Express-News reports. The agreement would close out a federal lawsuit motorist Clarence Walker Crawford filed against the San Antonio bedroom community, according to the daily. He alleges that then-New Braunfels patrol officer Kaleb Meyer, who's white, violated his civil rights during a January 2020 traffic stop.
