A partial settlement for $50,000 has been reached in a First Amendment lawsuit filed by a Washington, D.C., man who was detained after protesting National Guard troops by playing the “Imperial March” from Star Wars behind them last year.
Under the settlement, the District of Columbia agreed to resolve claims stemming from the conduct of Metropolitan Police Department officers. The lawsuit, however, will continue against Ohio National Guard Sgt. Devon Beck, who allegedly summoned police to stop the protest.
