CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio (WOSU) — The city of Circleville is settling with both former Officer Ryan Speakman and the man who Speakman ordered his K-9 police dog to bite as the man was surrendering to police last year.
Under the terms of the settlement, the truck driver Jaddarius Rose will receive $225,000 from the city while Speakman gets $40,000. The city will also remove mention of why Speakman was fired from the department from his personnel record and allow Speakman to purchase the K-9, named Serj, from the city for $1.
In July of last year, Rose led police on a multi-county chase between Jackson County and Pickaway County and refused to pull over for police until his tires were blown out by spike strips on Route 35. Rose is shown on body camera footage outside of the vehicle surrendering to police with his hands up when Speakman arrived on scene and ordered the police dog to attack Rose.
