SJSU Sigma Pi partier wins $200,500 for false arrest
 
February 24, 2005
Ex-Student Awarded Payment for False Arrest
_
A federal jury awarded a former San Jose State University student $200,500 after jurors found that a police officer used excessive force and falsely arrested her during a fraternity party.

Jurors deliberated for almost 10 hours before returning a verdict Tuesday against San Jose Officer William Foster, 37, a seven-year veteran of the department.

_Foster was accused of putting Laura Bushell McIntyre, an honors student, in a "nerve-pressure hold" while trying to break up a Sigma Pi party Feb. 8, 2001.

McIntyre, who is now a pediatric nurse, has permanent nerve damage in her neck and shoulders because of the incident, said her attorney, Jeff Kallis.

Good, police are way too protected in their jobs.

However, it doesn't look like he lost his job or anything does it?
