A former University of Tennessee student whose alleged choking by a Knox County deputy was caught on film will get $200 from the now retired officer and $100,000 from the county, according to a settlement reached between the parties on Monday.

At issue was a $2.2 million civil rights federal lawsuit against the county, the Knox County Sheriff’s Office and three deputies that was filed in February 2015 in U.S. District Court by Jarod Dotson.

Dotson, now 24, received international attention after The Daily Mail published a series of photos by area photographer John Messner, claiming to show deputy Frank Phillips “choking a student into unconsciousness."

"I'll simply state that Mr. Dotson is pleased to have this chapter in his life behind him," said Dotson's attorney, Tasha C. Blakney. "It has been extremely trying for him and for his family, but he is both gratified and relieved by the resolution of the case in his favor."

Dotson was one of 15 people arrested during the party in the Fort Sanders area on April 26, 2014. Deputies charged him with public intoxication and resisting arrest, but then-Knox County District Attorney Randy Nichols dropped his charges a few month later.

“I’m not sure this case was worth the $200 we agreed to settle for, however, it was going to continue to cost a lot more to defend this case, so an agreement was reached,” said attorney Don Bosch, who represented Phillips.

Phillips was fired shortly after the incident, but Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones later rescinded that decision and allowed him to retire.

The county, however, declined to represent him.

The other deputies named in the case, Ronald Chaperon Jr. and Brandon Gilliam, were covered under the county’s agreement to pay Dotson $100,000.

Dotson’s lawsuit claimed the deputies who arrested him used "unlawful and excessive force," and held him in jail "unlawfully."

In the lawsuit, Dotson's attorneys claimed that the party didn't involve their client or his house and that authorities walked onto his porch without case.

The lawsuit said deputies "violently" threw Dotson to the ground and repeatedly struck him, even though Dotson had followed their orders. As the deputies restrained Dotson, Phillips apparently choked and hit him, hurting his head and neck.

When deputies took Dotson to a police vehicle, the lawsuit claimed that Phillips choked the then-student again, even though his arms were cuffed behind his back.

Bosch, though, said through depositions attorneys learned that Dotson was intoxicated and had been told on “three separate occasions” to go inside his house “as part of the efforts by officers on the scene to disperse the mob and restore order in the neighborhood.”

He added that the deputies approached Dotson to arrest him for public intoxication and that he resisted arrest.

Bosch said that Phillips applied a “mandibular angle pressure point” to Dotson’s lower jaw bone, a move taught in the police academy and one new recruits continue to learn.

“At no point did (deputy) Phillips in any way restrict Mr. Dotson’s ability to breathe,” Bosch said.

He added: “From the beginning, (Dotson) has maintained he did nothing wrong when he responded to a riot near Laurel Avenue and 23rd Street involving 700 plus college students, the majority of whom were intoxicated and unruly and some of whom were throwing beer bottles at law enforcement officers on the scene.”
