A man who sued Bloomfield for false arrest after a violent traffic stop has accepted $1.6 million to settle his suit in federal court.

Marcus Jeter alleged that at least 10 officers from the Bloomfield Police Department beat him during a June 7, 2012, traffic stop on the Garden State Parkway. He was indicted on charges of eluding police, resisting arrest and assault on a police officer, but the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office dropped those charges after Bloomfield released dashcam footage of the arrest.
