An attorney for a man who was arrested multiple times for flipping off Buena Vista police says the town has paid $95,000 to settle the man’s lawsuit.
The Mountain Mail is reporting that Richard Lipton claimed in his lawsuit that the Town of Buena Vista violated his constitutional right of free speech by arresting him for extending his middle finger toward police officers.
Denver attorney Andy McNulty, who represented Lipton, told The Times “this settlement is a vindication of the First Amendment not just for Mr. Lipton, but for every resident of Buena Vista and America.”
