Vermont man arrested for flipping off cops at traffic stop gets sweet revenge as state agrees to pay him $175,000

---

The Vermont State Police will pay $175,000 to a man arrested for 'flipping the bird' at an officer after he sued the department for breaching his First Amendment rights. Police dashcam footage captured the moment Gregory Bombard was pulled over by Trooper Jay Riggen's on a snowy street in St. Albans on February 9, 2018. Bombard was jailed for over an hour after he cursed at the cop and eventually sued the department for the unnecessary traffic stop and retaliatory arrest, arguing it was a violation of his First Amendment rights.
