Overview

• Porter's attorney announced the $17 million settlement with the county, closing her lawsuit alleging unlawful seizure, assault, and excessive force.
• Body-camera video shows deputies drawing guns, forcing Porter to the ground as she said she was not resisting, and she was unconscious for about five minutes.
• The stop began over mismatched front and rear license plates, and the lawsuit says dispatch had already confirmed the rear plate matched the car with no theft report.
• Porter was jailed overnight on suspicion of resisting arrest but was never charged, and the suit alleges deputies falsified reports about a fight and her period of unconsciousness.
• The deputies are identified as Dalton McCampbell and Lisa McDowell, the county did not immediately comment, and Porter's counsel described the payout as among the largest of its kind in California.
