SEATTLE — King County will pay $3 million to a man who was shot 16 times as he lay in bed by officers who entered his Auburn, Wash., home looking for another resident.
Dustin Theoharis survived but suffered a shattered jaw and shoulder, a fractured spine and other injuries.
Lawyers for Theoharis say he didn’t have access to a weapon when officers woke him on Feb. 11, 2012.
Court records show King County sheriff’s deputies and state Corrections Department officers were looking for a man sought on a probation violation.
