Sterling Brown has reached a $750,000 settlement with the Milwaukee Police Department following an altercation with police that occurred in 2018.
Brown, a SMU alumni, and current NBA player for the Milwaukee Bucks, was tased and physically manhandled by multiple officers after receiving a parking violation in January of 2018. The confrontation started peacefully but escalated and ended in Brown on the ground, being pinned by the police when he was slow to raise his hands from his pockets.
Back in September of 2019, Brown was offered a $400,000 settlement offer from the police department, but denied it.
