Wilmington man settles civil rights suit against detective for $500K


On April 13, 2019, Carlos Mahoney successfully negotiated a $500,000 settlement in a civil rights case for a male client in a Fourth Amendment case alleging that he was arrested and prosecuted for various crimes without probable cause. The client was 54 years old at the time of arrest. Local news outlets reported the charges against him and he was terminated from his job.
