UPDATED – 3:28 P.M. Initial reports said the city was paying $63,000

Findlay will pay a police officer around $277,000 in back pay, fees, and Medicare taxes following his reinstatement last year. City attorneys and Sgt. David Hill agreed to the deal late last month. The city fired Hill in 2013 following three disciplinary issues. Hill appealed his firing, and the Ohio Supreme Court eventually ruled in his favor in May of 2017.

Hill returned to his position as a sergeant with the Findlay Police Department last year, the same rank as when he left.

Findlay Law Director Don Rasmussen has not said how much the legal battle cost the city.
