In 2011, the city paid $67,500 to settle a Baltimore resident’s claim that Conaway and other officers beat him during a robbery-related interrogation in 2007, after the store where the man worked was robbed. In charging documents in the case, Conaway said he “pushed the defendant to the ground” after the man reached for his service weapon. The man said he was “physically battered” by the officers when he tried to leave the room, after being told he was not under arrest.
