Year Description Outcome
2022

Officials in Gwinnett County, Georgia, agreed to pay $400,000 to Demetrius Hollins, a Black man who was assaulted by two white Gwinnett County police officers during a traffic stop in 2017.

After pulling Hollins over for an alleged license plate issue, Sergeant Michael Bongiovanni and Officer Robert McDonald punched him in the face and stomped on his head, even though Hollins had put his hands up as directed. Both officers were later fired and indicted for assault by a grand jury. Bongiovanni pleaded no contest to aggravated assault, and McDonald was found guilty. Hollins filed a lawsuit alleging that police leaders had ignored the officers’ pattern of excessive force and falsified reports, and the Gwinnett County Commission settled the suit for $400,000 in January 2022.
