In 2018, Officer Kyle Thies was involved in a traffic stop where he and Officer Natalie Heinemann allegedly racially profiled two young Black men, Montray Little and Jared Clinton. Thies took an aggressive tone, handcuffed Little without cause, and conducted a warrantless search of their vehicle. The incident was captured on video and led to a lawsuit alleging civil rights violations and racial profiling.
