Lawsuit vs. Cheektowaga police officers settled; terms not disclosed

A lawsuit claiming that Cheektowaga police forced their way into a Depew apartment and used excessive force against two women inside has been settled out of court.
The lawsuit, filed by Kathryn and Melissa Woods – who are mother and daughter – was resolved through mediation, according to a court document filed Aug. 15. A trial had been scheduled to begin Aug. 23 in U.S. District Court.
Attorneys from both sides declined to comment, and settlement terms weren’t filed with the court.
The lawsuit originally named the Town of Cheektowaga, the Police Department, Officers Neil C. Held and Bradford Hebeler, and other department employees identified only as John and Jane Doe. The Woodses had sought $18 million in damages.
