Chattanooga police Officer Lorin Johnston could receive a settlement of more than $32,000 if Chattanooga City Council members approve it today.
Johnston, who still works as a Chattanooga police officer, was wounded in a gunbattle on Brainerd Road two years ago.
Lacie Stone, spokeswoman for Mayor Andy Berke, said the basis for the settlement is “on-the-job injury.”
The Chattanooga City Council is expected to vote on whether to award the settlement during its meeting tonight.
Stone said settlement amounts are based on the nature of the claim and overall assessment of reasonableness for both parties involved.
