According to reports, Phil Dubois-Coyne, the former Revocation drummer who parted ways with the band in 2015, has accepted a $30,000 settlement to end his lawsuit over his 2014 arrest in Oklahoma City. The 32-year-old Phil Dubois-Coyne suffered a broken arm when police arrested him at a Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival after-party early August 8th, 2014, at the Downtown Airpark.

Police reported he was drunk and chanting at first, "F--- the police," and then, "Kill the police."

"I felt this was beginning to incite actions against us and we were easily outnumbered by the crowd," one officer wrote in a crime report.

Dubois-Coyne, whose address was listed as Boston and works as a drum technician for Cannibal Corpse, was later charged with public drunkenness, disorderly conduct and resisting a police officer.

He filed a lawsuit against the city and three police officers in 2016, alleging false arrest and excessive force. A jury trial had been set to begin in January in Oklahoma City federal court. The Oklahoma City Council agreed in November to settle the case for $30,000 without admitting liability. A federal judge approved the settlement on December 15th.

Dubois-Coyne spent about 12 hours in jail in 2014 after his broken arm was treated at a hospital. He pleaded no contest in Oklahoma City Municipal Court last November to the public drunkenness charge and paid $178. The other municipal charges against him were dismissed in 2015.
