Overview
- Louisiana officials reached a tentative $4.8 million settlement Tuesday evening, a deal the State Police confirmed Wednesday as not yet finalized.
- The agreement requires sign-off by the Louisiana Legislature’s Joint Legislative Budget Committee before any money is paid.
- Sources say the deal covers claims tied to troopers John Clary, Dakota DeMoss, Kory York, and the late Chris Hollingsworth, with former deputy Christopher Harpin assigned $50,000.
- The settlement would end the family’s 2020 federal wrongful-death suit over Greene’s 2019 arrest, where video showed troopers punching, shocking, and dragging him as he cried for help.
- Criminal cases brought little punishment after federal prosecutors declined charges in January 2025 and a Justice Department finding of excessive force was later rescinded.
