DENISON, Iowa—Court records indicate a fired Denison policeman will be paid nearly 350-thousand dollars to settle his lawsuit against the city for wrongful termination.
Brad Wendt, who runs a gun shop in Denison, also worked as a policeman, but was fired in 2017.
The City of Denison’s insurance company will pay the largest share of the settlement, about 232-thousand dollars.
The City of Denison is paying Wendt 65-thousand dollars for “emotional distress” and another 50-thousand dollars for “lost wages.” Wendt’s attorney will be paid about a quarter of a million, too.
