Case vs. retired Whitewater detective over
A settlement was reached in a Whitewater businessman’s harassment case against a now-retired Whitewater police detective, according to federal court documents.
Stephen D. Cvicker, 52, sued investigator Larry P. Meyer, 61, alleging the veteran detective violated his rights and hurt his business by continued harassment, which included wrongful arrests, intimidation of Hispanic employees and improper searches.
Cvicker had once owned a landscaping supply company in the city.
He filed suit in May 2005, seeking an undisclosed amount for compensatory and punitive damages as well as costs of the court action.
A federal judge threw out most of Cvicker’s claims, saying Meyer was entitled to qualified immunity because he was acting appropriately as a police officer.
