Report: Bucks Guard Sterling Brown to Settle Civil Rights Lawsuit With City of Milwaukee

Bucks guard Sterling Brown has reached a $750,000 settlement with the city of Milwaukee for his civil rights lawsuit that claimed police officers unlawfully arrested him and applied excessive force, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.

In addition to the settlement, the city of Milwaukee "would in a statement admit to a constitutional violation and commit to incorporate changes to the Milwaukee Police Department standard operating procedures," reports Charania.

Brown was arrested in the early morning of Jan. 26, 2018, in a Walgreens parking lot after the police checked on a vehicle that had occupied two handicapped parking spaces.
