Settlements
Year	Description	Outcome
2023	In June 2023, Edward Riccio and the Town of Old Saybrook, Connecticut, reached a $249,500 settlement in a lawsuit alleging unreasonable use of force by police. In 2019, Riccio was walking along the shoulder of Interstate 95 after a car accident when he encountered Officer Tyler Schulz. Riccio asked Schulz for help, but Schulz instead ordered him to get on the ground. When Riccio turned and began to walk away, Schulz commanded his canine to attack Riccio, resulting in injuries to Riccio’s left leg. Schulz had been sued in the past for similar conduct, and he left the Old Saybrook Police Department in 2022 for allegations of misconduct unrelated to those two lawsuits.
