MONTPELIER, Vt. (WCAX) - A Vermont man arrested in 2018 for allegedly flipping off a trooper has settled a lawsuit against the Vermont State Police.

In a lawsuit later filed by the ACLU, the group says that after he was detained and questioned, Bombard cursed and did give the trooper the finger. The trooper arrested him for disorderly conduct, a charge that was dismissed a year later.
