LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A lawsuit against the city of Las Vegas alleging false arrest, racial profiling and excessive force has been settled out of court for $150,000, with taxpayers bearing the six-figure burden due to the actions of several city marshals.

The settlement comes in the wake of a 13 Investigation into a case involving mistaken identity at the Fremont Street Experience in November 2023 .

The three plaintiffs in this case received $50,000 each. The city paid out the total of $150,000 to avoid a trial and get the lawsuit dismissed without admitting any liability. The plaintiffs' attorney said although his clients are happy about the financial compensation, the real victory is that the two marshals he called "the worst of the officers" are now off the streets.
