In 2021, Maria Gutierrez alleged an Arlington police officer tore her rotator cuff.

In 2019, however, an Arlington officer tore the newspaper carrier’s rotator cuff in a wrongful traffic stop, according to a lawsuit suing the city for $5 million.
This month, Arlington settled the lawsuit for $300,000, city attorney Steve Peiffle said. The settlement is covered by the city’s liability insurance.
