The Portland Police Association has settled a lawsuit brought by anti- police activist and former Portland city commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty for $680,000.
The settlement was first reported by KGW8 and was in response to a 2021 incident in which the union's president at the time, Brian Hunzeker, and Portland Police Bureau staff leaked a report in which Hardesty was mistakenly identified as the suspect in a hit-and-run accident.
