Habersham County Commission Chairman Andrea Harper announced Tuesday a million dollar partial settlement in two lawsuits against the Sheriff’s Department stemming from a May 28, 2014 drug raid on a home on Lakeview Heights Circle in Cornelia.
2-year-old Bounkham P. Phonesavanh is still recovering from lacerations and burns to his face and chest from a flash grenade thrown into the house by officers executing a no-knock search warrant.
Two separate lawsuits, one from the Phonesavanh family and one from the owner of the home over damages, reached partial settlement through a payout of $1 million from the county’s insurance company.
