Brooklyn: Jury Awards Shoplifter Awarded $500,000 For Broken Ankle During Arrest

slA Brooklyn jury has awarded $510,000 to a man who sued the city for a broken ankle he suffered during an arrest for shoplifting.

The jury awarded Kevin Jarman $510,000 on Wednesday for the injury.

Jarman had filed the suit after pleading guilty to shoplifting at a Queens Pathmark in 2011.

The New York Post  says it’s not the first payout Jarman has received from the city.

In 2005, he sued the NYPD for false arrest after a drug sale charge was dropped. The city settled for $15,000.

Then last month the city settled for $20,000 after Jarman sued police for false arrest in another drug case.

    Lucky the case wasn’t in the boogey down bronx or it would’ve been $5 million.

    New York City must have a lot of extra money to pay out for this foolishness.
