DC reaches court settlement with man detained while protesting troops’ patrol with Darth Vader song

The District of Columbia has settled a lawsuit with Sam O’Hara, who claims he was illegally detained by police while protesting an Ohio National Guard patrol by playing Darth Vader’s theme song. The settlement resolves his claims against DC and four officers but not against an Ohio National Guard member, Sgt. Devon Beck. O’Hara, represented by the ACLU, alleges the detention violated his First and Fourth Amendment rights.
