Woman robbed after getting settlement
DAYTONA BEACH -- A woman who received a $50,000 settlement from the city this month after a young officer botched an arrest has had a terrible week.According to police, Joy Millings' home was burglarized on Monday and someone shot at her Thursday.
The burglary and ransacking of her residence occurred one day after The Daytona Beach News-Journal published an article about Millings' settlement from the city.
Thursday about 4:30 a.m., Millings was driving her car on International Speedway Boulevard near Denny's restaurant when someone in another vehicle fired shots at her, said Police Chief Mike Chitwood and police spokesman Jimmie Flynt.

The routine traffic stop quickly soured when Dunne asked Millings for insurance, registration
