Six-figure sum named after botched arrest
Canberra Raiders player Curtis Scott will seek a $400,000 settlement from police over a botched arrest.
Scott was handcuffed, tasered and capsicum sprayed after being found asleep under a tree by police on the Australia Day weekend.
He was arrested and charged with seven offences, including two counts of assaulting police, but the case was dismissed after bodycam footage of his arrest emerged. The arrest was deemed unlawful and police had to pay Scott’s legal fees, amounting to more than $100,000.
