The city has agreed to pay $30,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by a man who was recorded on video getting hit with a baton multiple times by a police officer after first refusing to step away from an endangered Hawaiian monk seal and then, after walking away, refusing the officer’s orders to stop.

Jamie Kalani Rice filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city, officer Ming Wang and then-Honolulu Police Chief Louis Kealoha for the injuries he suffered during his September 2014 arrest at a beach in Nanakuli. Rice suffered broken bones in his right hand.

Lawyers for the city and Rice announced the settlement Thursday in U.S. District Court. The lawyer for the city said the settlement covers only the city and Wang because it does not represent Kealoha.

Wang arrested Rice for harassing the seal and resisting arrest. Prosecutors, however, charged Rice only with harassing the seal, a Class C felony punishable by up to five years in prison.

Rice, 43, pleaded no contest in October 2015 to a reduced misdemeanor charge of obstructing a government operation and was sentenced to five days in jail.

Volunteers who had put up warning signs to keep people away from the seal called police to the beach and recorded the video.

The Honolulu Police Department said it reassigned Wang to desk duty following Rice’s arrest while it conducted administrative and criminal assault investigations. HPD then forwarded its findings to the prosecutor, who declined to prosecute the 12-year police veteran.

After video of Rice’s arrest was posted on the internet, the city prosecutor took a second look at the case and again declined to pursue charges against Wang.
