4:37Now PlayingThe Town of Elizabeth agreed to settle a lawsuit before it was filed by paying a man $150,000, his lawyers say.
The settlement stemmed from a call for service on Sept. 20, 2022. Sean Page told 9NEWS he was trying to corral his dogs that morning. He was asking a construction crew to turn off a machine that was spooking the dogs, he said. The dispute ended up with multiple Elizabeth Police officers responding, including the town's former chief, Melvin Berghahn.
