The city of Stamford has agreed to pay $230,000 to settle a lawsuit by a Norwalk woman who accused a police officer of punching her in an altercation outside a nightclub.
According to the complaint filed in 2009, Sandra Soltis and Brenda Mazariegos were attempting to enter the parking lot of The Palms Nightclub, a downtown Stamford business, when Officer Greg Zach refused to grant her access to the lot. Solits’ and Mazariegos’ husbands were co-owners of the club and Soltis, who had been driving, reportedly got out of the vehicle to find her husband.
