In July 2014, Officer Mark McDonough arrested Troy Scheffler during a late-night bicycle ride. Scheffler alleged that McDonough used excessive force during the arrest, resulting in a concussion, bruises, and abrasions. Scheffler filed a federal lawsuit against McDonough and the City of Coon Rapids, claiming unlawful arrest and excessive force. The case was partially dismissed, but some claims proceeded to trial.
