Settlements
Year Description Outcome
2022

Camden County, New Jersey, agreed to a $10 million settlement with Xavier Ingram, a Black man left paralyzed after a police encounter in 2014.

Ingram’s lawsuit named Camden County, the Camden County Police Department, then-Assistant Chief of Police Orlando Cuevas, then-Police Chief John Scott Thomson, and officers Jeremy Merck, Antonio Gennetta, and Nicholas Marchiafava as defendants. The suit accused the officers of using excessive force and failing to provide necessary medical care, resulting in Ingram’s severe cervical spine injuries and permanent quadriplegia. The County agreed to a settlement in May 2022 after years of litigation and a mistrial in Camden federal court declared on March 29, 2022, when a jury became deadlocked on whether the officers were responsible for Ingram’s injuries.
