TUCSON, Ariz. - The Pima County Board of Supervisors has approved a $700,000 settlement in a lawsuit over a false arrest.
Karl Daschke and his wife Gretchen claimed their two sons were temporarily removed from their home because they refused to cooperate in a criminal investigation into break-ins and illegal parties at several high-end homes. T
he lawsuit was filed in 2017 after the Daschkes said their older son was falsely identified as the mastermind behind a string of illegal parties that took place in the homes.
Charges against the then-16-year-old boy were dropped. During the course of a yearlong investigation, the Arizona Department of Child Safety removed both boys from the family home but they were returned after a county juvenile court order.
