BRIDGETON — A settlement has been reached in a lawsuit that Jerame Reid — the man shot and killed by police during a traffic stop in Bridgeton — had pending against Cumberland County at the time of his death. Cumberland County recently approved a $340,000 settlement to be awarded to Reid's estate, according to an official close to the case. The matter is headed to federal court for final approval and then a probate court will decide how the assets are to be distributed. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Camden in January 2011, alleged Reid was assaulted while held in the Cumberland County Jail. It names the county, Cumberland County Department of Corrections, Warden Robert Balicki, and three corrections officers: Victor Bermudez, John Zamot and John Ballard. Read More. |
