Settlements
Year Description Outcome
2022

In August 2022, the family of Anton Black, a nineteen-year-old killed by police in Maryland, reached a partial settlement for $5 million in a lawsuit with the towns of Greensboro, Ridgely, and Centreville.

On September 15, 2018, Greensboro Police Officer Thomas Webster IV confronted Black following a 911 call that Black was roughly dragging a twelve-year-old boy (who was a friend of Black’s family) down the road. Webster tried to arrest Black, who fled on foot. Two off-duty officers, former Ridgely Police Chief Gary Manos and Centreville Police Officer Dennis Lannon, tried to help Webster arrest Black. When Black ran to his family’s home and got into a car, the officers smashed the car window and used a stun gun on Black, then handcuffed him and shackled his legs before he stopped breathing. The lawsuit accused the police of using excessive force, rejecting the officers’ claims that Black was high on drugs and exhibiting “superhuman” strength at the time of the incident. Black’s family said he had been diagnosed with a severe form of bipolar disorder and was experiencing a mental health crisis. The settlement agreement required the three towns to update their policies governing police use of force and to provide officers with training on mental health, implicit bias, and de-escalation techniques.
