During the 2018 interrogation of Thomas Perez Jr by police in Fontana, officers suggested they would have Perez's dog euthanized as a result of his actions, according to a complaint and footage of the encounter.
A judge said the questioning appeared to be unconstitutional psychological torture, and the city agreed to settle Perez's lawsuit for $898,000, his lawyer announced this week.
The incident began when Perez Jr's father left the house with their dog, later identified as alive, showcasing an extreme case of coerced false confession and mental distress.
