CHP officer altercation

A California Highway Patrol officer who was caught on video repeatedly punching a woman on the 10 Freeway has agreed to resign.

The CHP announced that Officer Daniel Andrew was stepping down and that the agency would pay $1.5 million to settle a civil rights lawsuit brought forth by the victim, Marlene Pinnock. 

From Los Angeles Times:

The settlement will establish a special-needs trust for Pinnock to “provide a mechanism for her long-term care,” according to a statement released by CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow.

He did not elaborate.
