A South Carolina state trooper’s conduct has led to a $1.3 million judgment awarded to a couple who accused the officer of excessive force during what originated as a simple traffic stop nearly four years ago.
The incident, which occurred in October 2012, began when Trooper James Enzor pulled over Catherine and Jerome Newkirk while they were driving on Interstate 95 in South Carolina. According to CBS North Carolina, “the complaint says the two were driving through a construction zone as part of a line of cars all traveling the same speed when the couple noticed they were being followed by a South Carolina Highway Patrol car with its blue lights on.”
