Judge Dismisses Excessive Force Lawsuit Against Moorhead Police

A federal jury found that no excessive force was used by the police against a Moorhead man.

The lawsuit filed by James Van Raden alleged excessive force was used by Moorhead Police in 2011.

Van Raden says an officer shocked him with a stun gun when he came to the man’s home to do a welfare check.

All officers have been cleared of any wrong doing and the case has been dismissed.
