Actor Robert Brown Settles Racial Profiling Lawsuit With Macy’s
?w=620&h=349&crop=1
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Actor Robert Brown has settled his racial profiling lawsuit against Macy’s.
The settlement terms between the retailer, the city, and the HBO star were not disclosed, WLNY reported.
Brown filed the lawsuit after he said he was falsely accused of credit card fraud at Macy’s flagship store in Herald Square last year.
Brown said that he was buying his mother a $1,300 watch as a graduation present in June when he was surrounded by undercover cops. He said he was held at the store, handcuffed and searched before being released.
