In January 2019, an unnamed Mankato police officer was involved in an incident where a 42-year-old man suffered a complex wrist fracture during an arrest. The officer applied an iron wrist lock with enough pressure to cause the fracture. The victim was cooperative and compliant during the arrest. The incident led to a $270,000 settlement against the City of Mankato.
