The city of Norman has reached a $60,000 settlement agreement over the release of surveillance footage of Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon striking an OU student at Pickleman's restaurant.
The settlement is with the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters, who brought legal action against the city in order to gain access to the video, according to city documents.
The Norman City Council voted to approve the settlement, totaling $60,000, in its March 13 meeting following a recommendation from the city attorney. The settlement also stipulates future publication of the video shall not be abridged, according to the text of the settlement.
Mixon was suspended from the football program for a season for punching OU student Amelia Molitor at Pickleman's restaurant in 2014. Mixon was also placed on probation for one year and ordered to complete 100 hours of community service. Mixon was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2017 NFL Draft.
The Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters argued the video, which was eventually released by Mixon's attorneys, was a public document because it was used as evidence in the lawsuit between Molitor and Mixon.
