In what turned out to be a prolonged legal battle, a Mission Viejo couple has won a settlement of nearly $260,000 from Orange County after a woman sustained injuries from an altercation with Orange County sheriff’s deputies.

According to reports from the Orange County Register, Mission Viejo resident Toy White got a black eye after she tried to shut the door on the deputies who arrived to deal with a report about her Old English sheepdog. Reports show that the deputies did not have a warrant, and when White tried to shut the door on them, one of them called out that she was resisting arrest. Toy and her husband, Steve White, took the case to court, claiming an assault by the deputies made White fall and hit her face on her stone floor.

This story doesn’t end with a black eye. Further reports indicate that at least one of the deputies involved in that 2007 incident has since received charges on other cases of excessive force, has surrendered his badge, has received a DUI charge and is dealing with suspicion of illegal drug activity.
