The city of Scranton is paying $19,000 to a woman who was arrested on disorderly conduct charges for swearing at her overflowing toilet.
Scranton is also paying Dawn Herb's legal fees.
Herb was arrested last year after a neighbor, an off-duty police officer, heard her cursing through an open window.
A judge later found her not guilty, saying her language was constitutionally protected free speech.
The American Civil Liberties Union, a civil rights group, announced the settlement Wednesday.
