In 2018, Officer Lamont Marzolf detained two boys, aged 12 and 14, at gunpoint, mistaking them for fleeing suspects. The boys were ordered to lie on the ground, handcuffed, and frisked, despite being compliant and innocent. Their mother filed a lawsuit alleging constitutional violations. While a district judge initially allowed the case against Marzolf to proceed, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals later granted him qualified immunity, effectively dismissing the case.
