For the fourth time in eight years, the State has been or­dered to pay sig­nif­i­cant com­pen­sa­tion to a man from Clax­ton Bay due to the ac­tions of the po­lice.

On Mon­day, High Court Judge Kevin Ram­cha­ran up­held Mark Vic­tor Ha­gley’s false im­pris­on­ment law­suit and or­dered $170,970 in com­pen­sa­tion.

Ha­gley’s lat­est le­gal vic­to­ry brought the to­tal com­pen­sa­tion he has re­ceived from the State for the egre­gious con­duct of po­lice of­fi­cers to well over $1 mil­lion.
