A Camden County municipality will pay $5 million to settle an excessive-force suit by a man who claimed a police-dog attack left him with neurological and cognitive problems, Black v. Borough of Lindenwold.

When her husband, James Black, drove up in another car and inquired what was happening, Officer Scott Pierson released his German shepherd, which repeatedly bit Black, and didn’t call off the dog until Black was facing the ground.
