Paylor v. Town of Elon Police Department
While with the ACLU of North Carolina, Katy Parker successfully resolved a federal lawsuit on behalf of her client, John W. Paylor, who was repeatedly shot with a Taser by Elon Police officers while unarmed in his underwear and presenting no threat to the officers. Mr. Paylor was given a monetary settlement and the police department agreed to change its policies on Taser use.
