Ukiah Settles in Case Involving Former Police Sergeant

Over a year after accusations emerged, the City of Ukiah has agreed to pay a $250,000 settlement to former police Sergeant Kevin Murray’s victim, identified only as “S.Y.” in court documents. The City of Ukiah terminated Murray in January 2021 after the Mendocino County District Attorney’s Office filed a criminal complaint accusing Murray of burglary, sexual battery, possession of methamphetamine, and a violation of civil rights. This settlement is the second payout by the City of Ukiah for actions associated with Murray.
