In November 2024, the City of North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, agreed to a $250,000 settlement with La’Nisha Hemingway, whom police wrongfully detained at gunpoint during a traffic stop. On May 3, 2024, officers with the North Myrtle Beach Police Department stopped eighteen-year-old Hemingway’s Dodge Charger after a license plate reader mistakenly identified the vehicle as a stolen Dodge Challenger. Although the officers quickly recognized the error, they ordered Hemingway out of her car at gunpoint, forced her to walk backward, and placed her in handcuffs. After several minutes, the officers confirmed that the vehicle was not stolen and released her. Hemingway alleged that the incident left her traumatized. As of November 2024, both officers involved remained on duty. |
