The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office settled a case alleging excessive force at the scene of an auto accident.
Shawn Conboy, then 56, was a witness to the collision in Boca Raton in 2013. Conboy alleged while he and his girlfriend were being detained on scene to provide witness statements, an officer grabbed him, threw him against his vehicle and started beating him. He also alleged an officer’s stun gun was deployed before he was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with violence and other charges. All charges were dropped later. Conboy sued the sheriff’s office and responding officers.
