In January 2023, the Maryland Board of Public Works approved a $75,000 settlement with Ikiem Smith in an excessive force lawsuit. After Maryland State Police officers pulled Smith over in February 2017, Smith proceeded to flee, leading to a three-mile chase. Once the officers stopped Smith, they allegedly threw him to the ground, directed their police dog to attack him, and arrested him. There was no body camera footage of the incident. In a separate case, the police officers were cleared of all charges of criminal wrongdoing. |
