Barneys, New York City and the NYPD have finally settled the claims that were brought against them three years ago, by then, 19-year-old Trayvon Christian. In April of 2013, the young black man was accused of credit card fraud, after purchasing a $349 Ferragamo belt from the luxury department store.

After purchasing, Christian was handcuffed and detained by two NYPD officers. While being held in a local police station for two hours, he was not granted release until a phone call was made to Chase Bank to confirm the use of his personal debit card.

“Settling was in the best interest of the city,”

says Nick Paolucci, a spokesman for New York City’s law department. The city has agreed to pay Christian $45,000, although the amount agreed upon by the department store is still undisclosed.

Despite Barneys’ “zero tolerance for any form of discrimination,” this is not the first or the last claim of racial discrimination.
