On December 14, 2019, Officer Johnsen responded to a traffic stop involving Terelle Thomas, who was suspected of ingesting cocaine. Despite being informed of the suspicion and observing signs indicating possible drug ingestion, Officer Johnsen did not ensure that Thomas received immediate medical attention. Thomas was transported to the Dauphin County Booking Center, where he later suffered cardiac arrest and died on December 17, 2019. A lawsuit was filed alleging deliberate indifference to Thomas’s serious medical needs, resulting in his death.
