MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota police officer who was acquitted
in last year's fatal shooting of black motorist Philando Castile will
receive $48,500 as he leaves the suburban department that employed him
at the time of the killing, according to a separation agreement
announced Monday.
Jeronimo Yanez will be paid the money in a
lump sum, minus applicable deductions and withholdings for state and
federal taxes. Under the five-page agreement released to The Associated
Press through a public records request, the Minneapolis suburb of St.
Anthony also will pay Yanez for up to 600 hours of accrued and unused
personal leave pay. The agreement, which has Monday's date, doesn't say
how much time he has accrued.
