The District of Columbia agreed to a settlement with a resident who was detained after he followed an Ohio National Guard patrol while playing the Darth Vader theme from Star Wars on his phone. The man sued the city and four D.C. police officers over the detention, and The Hill and the Associated Press reported the settlement. Reports say the agreement resolves his lawsuit, but outlets did not disclose the settlement amount or other terms.
