Dayton Personal Injury Settlement for Family of Dontae Martin
The Martin family will be paid $900,000.
Montgomery County commissioners authorized the payment of the settlement at their meeting Tuesday. The settlement closes the Martin case “without any admission of fault on behalf of Montgomery County, the Sheriff’s Office, or the deputies involved,” the county said.
