A Philadelphia woman has been awarded $151,000 in a lawsuit against a city detective who arrested her for kidnapping two children who didn’t exist.

Joyce Combs sued Detective Linda Blowes in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, bringing a claim of malicious prosecution. A jury returned a verdict in late August for $150,000 in compensatory damages and, a day later, awarded Combs an additional $1,000 in punitive damages.
