The New Mexico driver forced to have a series of enemas and anal probes in a failed police attempt to find drugs has been awarded $1.6 million in a court settlement.
David Eckert was subjected to the humiliating search because police claimed he was clenching his buttocks when he got out of his car during a routine traffic stop in January last year.
The $1.6 million comes as Hidalgo County and the city of Deming settle their portion of the lawsuit which claimed Mr Eckert had been subjected to a host of violations.

The lawsuit, filed against police and sheriff's officials in Deming and Hidalgo County, which borders Mexico, alleges Deming police sought a search warrant for Mr Eckert after he was pulled over.
Hidalgo County sheriff's deputies told the Deming police officers Mr Eckert was known for carrying drugs inside his body, according to the lawsuit seen by KOB4.
Police also brought in a drug-sniffing dog, which appeared to detect something in the driver's seat.
