In numerous cases, the officer's story was later directly contradicted by a judge's ruling or video evidence including cases involving a deadly shooting, an illegal strip search and a fabricated charge. One of those cases involved MPD Officer Lucas Peterson. He has been named in several uses of force lawsuits that the city has settled for more than a million dollars. In 2006, Peterson claimed a suspect obstructed justice when she jumped on his partner’s back during a traffic stop. A federal judge later found that to be a “completely inaccurate representation” after surveillance video showed it never happened. The criminal charge against the woman was eventually dropped.
