Ju’Zema Goldring was awarded $1.5 Million by a Federal Court in the lawsuit Goldring filed against Atlanta’s city and officers Vladimir Henry and Juan Restrepo. They stopped Goldring while she was jaywalking and then took her into custody on drug charges. Goldring was in jail for six months, before the contents of the stress ball Goldring were tested. Goldring says officers did field tests and also reported the negative results as positive. These tests, according to the police department were false positives.
