Shorewood woman receives $760K civil rights settlement from City of Milwaukee

Stephanie Rapkin has been awarded a $760,000 settlement after suing Shorewood and Whitefish Bay over her arrest in 2020 where police conducted a search of her home without a warrant. “To our knowledge, this is the largest police misconduct civil rights settlement in Wisconsin that doesn’t involve a death or serious injury,” John Bradley, one of Rapkin’s attorneys, told the Journal Sentinel.
