Sergeant Michael Johnson was struck by a car driven by a fleeing suspect in 2003. The Valley News reports Washington Superior Court has approved a settlement to compensate Sgt. Johnson's widow and their three children. The suspect, Eric Daley of Lebanon, New Hampshire, is in prison for gross negligent operation of a vehicle.
