Sparks city settles lawsuit with 84-year-old woman injured after firefighter shoved her while feeding cats.
The City of Sparks has settled a lawsuit filed by 84-year-old Maureen Hvegholm, who said she suffered a traumatic brain injury after being shoved to the ground by firefighter Timothy Egan in December 2022 while feeding stray cats near Sparks Fire Station #1.
Surveillance video captured the incident, which occurred during a dispute over cat feeding, with Hvegholm falling headfirst onto concrete.
The settlement, reached with the city’s insurer Travelers, resolves the case without disclosing financial terms.
Egan has not faced criminal charges, and the trial, scheduled for January 2026, was avoided.
Previous settlement attempts failed in 2024.
