The court on Friday assessed $100,000 of Francisco Rodriguez's damages against the Dodgers and $5,000 against Dodgers security officer Erik Pena, who was found to have acted with malice.
Rodriguez alleged that security officers forcibly ejected him after he objected to the way another fan was being dealt with during the March 29, 2018, game against the San Francisco Giants and was forcibly ejected. The guards escorting Rodriguez to the exit continually battered him, including jabbing his ribs with a baton, taking him to the ground and repeatedly punching him with closed fists.
The Dodgers have several lawsuits against them in the courts. Three suits filed in April 2022, outline three incidents in which security officers allegedly perpetrated acts of assault, battery, false imprisonment, civil rights violations and emotional distress against fans at Dodger Stadium.
