Drug warriors will pay $2.6 million for maiming a toddler

On Friday a federal judge approved payments totaling $1.65 million by Rabun and Stephens counties, which participated in the anti-drug task force responsible for the late-night, no-knock raid that nearly killed 19-month-old Bounkham 'Bou Bou' Phonesavanh when a flashbang grenade exploded in the portable playpen where he was sleeping.
