In May 2009, Officer Ryan Flanagan detained Maria Davila-Marquez, a 30-year-old Hispanic woman, mistaking her for a teenage suspect. Despite discrepancies in age and clothing, Flanagan proceeded with the detention. Davila-Marquez alleged that her arms were forced behind her back and her face was pressed onto the hot hood of a police car, resulting in second-degree burns. She was charged with hindering a police investigation, but the charge was later dismissed due to lack of evidence. In June 2013, the city of Pasco reached a $100,000 settlement with Davila-Marquez over the incident.

In February 2015, Officer Ryan Flanagan was involved in the fatal shooting of Antonio Zambrano-Montes, a 35-year-old orchard worker. Zambrano-Montes was reportedly throwing rocks at officers when Flanagan and two other officers fired 17 times, resulting in his death. The incident was captured on cellphone video, leading to public outcry and protests. A $25 million federal lawsuit was filed against the city of Pasco, alleging excessive force. Flanagan resigned from the department following the incident.
