Woman yanked from car in Kalamazoo Co. settling suit for $1.1M

Kalamazoo — A woman who was yanked from her car by two sheriff's deputies in Michigan who mistook her for a chase suspect has agreed to settle a lawsuit for more than $1.1 million.

MLive.com reports the settlement involving Kalamazoo County, the deputies and Michelle Selbee of Scotts was reached in November.

Details were filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids. The agreement must be approved by a judge.

The sheriff's department said the deputies believed Michelle Selbee was an armed suspect who had been shooting at officers in 2010. When they realized they had the wrong person, they left. An investigation by authorities from outside Kalamazoo County cleared the deputies.
