MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The City of Minneapolis has agreed to pay former Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Tom Johnson and his attorneys $475,00 in a lawsuit settlement.
On Friday morning, the Minneapolis City Council approved the settlement. The lawsuit was filed in federal court and the two sides reached an agreement last month.
Johnson’s attorney says it’s a full settlement of all his claims after four years of litigation.
