Officer Aschenbrener – Minnetonka Police Department

In 2012, Officer Aschenbrener was involved in a fatal collision while responding to an emergency call. He was driving at speeds up to 79 miles per hour in a 40-mile-per-hour zone and entered an intersection on a red light without ensuring it was clear, resulting in the death of a civilian named Kian. Prior to this incident, Officer Aschenbrener had a history of unsafe driving, including a previous disciplinary action for excessively fast driving in 2011. The case, Kian v. City of Minnetonka, raised questions about the officer’s driving conduct and the department’s oversight of repeated unsafe behaviors.
