An elderly couple will get $300,000 to drop a lawsuit against the McHenry County sheriff’s office over claims that deputies illegally entered their house and injured them while arresting their son, officials revealed Tuesday.

Jerome Pavlin is due to get $100,000, and Carla Pavlin $200,000 in the settlement, Deputy County Administrator John Labaj said. The county paid $100,000, he said; the rest is covered by insurance.
