5/23/17 – 8:38 A.M.

Wood County will pay $32,000 to settle a case with a Risingsun police officer. Media partner WTOL-11 reports the settlement stems from a 2015 incident.

A Wood County deputy arrested Risingsun Police Sgt. Kevin Osborne for unlawful restraint, aggravated menacing and improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle. Prosecutors later dropped the charges, leading to a wrongful arrest lawsuit.
