The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office has settled out of court a 5-year-old lawsuit in which a Folsom woman claimed she was beaten by a deputy after a dispute at a Mandeville area carwash.
The suit alleged that Holly Ray Bush, now 23, was seriously injured when a detective slammed her face into a car after handcuffing her.
The case, which was set to go to trial Monday in U.S. District Court in New Orleans, gained notoriety early this year when a federal appeals court ruled Bush could continue with the suit after she was found guilty of resisting arrest.
The two sides agreed on a settlement Thursday. The details are not included in the court record, but money will change hands, according to the court order dismissing the suit.
