COLUMBIA — A man who was shot with a Taser in a suicide standoff in July has presented a settlement offer to the City of Columbia.

Cavanaugh Noce, the City of Columbia’s legal counsel, received a letter from Todd Johnson of Baty, Holm and Numrich, P.C. in Kansas City on Dec. 10. The letter outlined the man’s claims and settlement offer of $500,000, 40 percent of which would be paid to Johnson if granted.
