Settlement reached in Foley case
Beginning of July, former Chargers linebacker Steve Foley settled his case against the city of Coronado and Coronado police officer Aaron Mansker for $5.5 million dollars. Steve Foley was forced to end his football career with the San Diego team after Mansker shoot him in the knee and hip during a traffic stop. Mansker, off duty and in his private car, stopped Foley for suspected drunk driving and shot him when Foley allegedly reach to his waistband. Foley, who will be physically impaired for the rest of his life, was unarmed.
Foley was represented by NPAP member Jordan Cohen and co-counsel Harvey Levine. The attorneys argued that Mansker had violated training and department policies when he decided to stop Foley instead of just following him.
