In June 2024, the Sheriff’s Office of Ada County, Idaho, agreed to pay $250,000 to settle a civil rights lawsuit brought by Michael Heikkola. Sheriff’s deputies confronted and forcibly detained Heikkola in January 2023 after he attempted to use a drop box for unwanted prescription drugs at the Kuna Police Station. Heikkola alleged that deputies violated his civil rights by restraining him and interrogating him without reading his rights, and that they did not allow him to clean up after he soiled himself due to factors related to a recent surgery. A judge later dismissed a charge against Heikkola of resisting or obstructing officers, concluding that there was no basis for the stop or detention. As part of the settlement, the Sheriff’s Office agreed to conduct training on respecting constitutional rights. |
