In 2021, Officer Nielsen was involved in an incident where he approached a man named Jackman and a woman in a park. The encounter escalated, leading to Jackman’s arrest for battery on a police officer. Jackman filed a lawsuit alleging excessive force and constitutional violations. The court found that while there were differences in testimonies, the material facts did not support Jackman’s claims, and summary judgment was granted in favor of the defendants.
