The city of New Haven has filed a lawsuit against an entertainment company, Eastcoastin Companies, for holding an motorcycle rally without the proper city permits. It cost $80,000 to run public safety for the event, which the city hopes to recover.

Officials in New Haven, Connecticut, announced prisoner transport and detention reforms Thursday in response to a police van driver braking suddenly while transporting a man in the back of the van, sending him flying headfirst into a metal wall of the vehicle and paralyzing him.

Karl Jacobson was sworn in after getting unanimous approval from the city’s Board of Alders.
