Jury awards $200,000 to Mexican tourist in Aurora 'fart police' lawsuit

A Colorado jury awarded over $200,000 to Salvador Alonso Guerrero-Salmeron, a Mexican tourist bitten by an Aurora police dog during a 2023 SWAT operation. Jurors found handler Robert Wong liable for excessive force and officer Grant Peet liable for malicious prosecution. The lawsuit alleged officers used nonsensical Spanish-language commands during the raid, which occurred while the victim was sleeping in a rented room.
