A county police officer this week lost a lawsuit she filed against a Glen Burnie man who crashed into her patrol car in 2007 while she was in Arnold running radar.

The loss on Wednesday comes a few months after the county agreed to pay the man $65,000 to settle a separate lawsuit he filed in 2008 claiming the officer was at fault because part of her car was blocking the dark roadway.

Officer Dina Johnson, who started with the department in 2005 and continues to serve in the Patrol Services Bureau, said she was disappointed in the jury's verdict, calling it "unfair." She declined further comment.
