A settlement has been reached in a lawsuit filed by a man who was injured by an Iowa State Patrol Trooper during a traffic stop. Court documents says the State will pay Bryce Yakish $225,000 in the case he filed against the State and former Iowa State Patrol Trooper Robert Smith. An incident whereby Smith knocked Yakish over and put his knee on his neck during a 2017 traffic stop was caught on dash cam video of the arrest.

The lawsuit alleged that Smith assaulted and falsely arrested Yakish, then lied about what happened. The case prompted scrutiny into other allegations of misconduct against Smith.
