False Arrest Case Ends With 2 Men Receiving $1 Million Ohio Personal Injury Awards

Posted by TotalInjury.com Staff Writer | Posted in Personal Injury News

Clifton Oliver and Donald Creigan were 2 of 3 people arrested in connection with the 2002 explosion at Jacob’s Field in Cleveland, Ohio.  An explosive device burned 4 people and shocked many other fans when it went off in the ninth inning.  The two men were held in the Cuyoga County Jail along with the man later found guilty of the crime.

In their Ohio personal injury suit,  Oliver and Creigan alleged that they endured inhumane conditions.  Both men sued the city for malicious prosecution, false arrest and emotional distress.  A jury award each man $1 million to include $400,000 in compensatory damages and $600,000 in punitive damages for the Ohio personal injury claim.
