Comedians Eric André and Clayton English have officially settled their lawsuit against the Clayton County Police Department regarding a controversial drug search program at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The legal battle began after the two performers were stopped and questioned by officers while attempting to board flights, an experience they described as racially motivated and invasive.

In their original complaint, André and English alleged that the police department’s practice of stopping travelers in the jet bridge—a space where passengers are already screened by the TSA—constituted an unconstitutional search and seizure. They argued that the program disproportionately targeted Black travelers, leading to a pattern of harassment that lacked reasonable suspicion. The lawsuit sought to end the practice, which the comedians claimed was designed to intimidate passengers into consenting to searches of their personal belongings.

While the specific terms of the settlement have not been fully disclosed, the resolution marks the end of a high-profile case that drew national attention to the tactics used by local law enforcement within federal transit hubs. The Clayton County Police Department has previously maintained that their interdiction efforts were legal and aimed at curbing the transport of illegal narcotics. The settlement effectively closes the litigation, though it leaves broader questions regarding the oversight of local police programs operating within major airports.
