Comedians Eric André, Clayton English settle lawsuit challenging drug search program at Atlanta airport

Comedians Eric André and Clayton English have reached a settlement in a lawsuit challenging a police drug-search program at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Filed in October 2022, the suit alleged the men were racially profiled and unlawfully stopped by Clayton County police while boarding flights, with other passengers watching. The settlement, announced Tuesday by their lawyers, includes no admission of fault but says the county ended the program and does not plan to restart it. According to board minutes from an Aug. 4 meeting, the county approved a $30,000 payment, split evenly, and agreed to require body-worn cameras and training on constitutional limits for airport officers.
