A man who claimed he was brutalized by Elizabeth police won a $1.5 million federal jury verdict on Nov. 1 in his suit, Brown v. Conrad.

The incident occurred on Aug. 31, 2005. Plainclothes police allegedly witnessed Therman Brown running a red light and followed him until he stopped his car and ran away. His version is that he had stopped his car to say hello to a friend and ran as the officers neared because they did not identify themselves and because they shouted racial epithets, according to his attorneys, Mark Lawrence and Stacey Selem-Antonucci of Forman & Cardonsky in Elizabeth.
