Written by CBKN76

Officer Wade Hannig was involved in the July 15, 2018, arrest of 72-year-old Warren Lindvold for suspected DUI. Lindvold, who had ankylosing spondylitis, died six days later from a broken neck. A federal civil rights lawsuit alleged excessive force and indifference to Lindvold’s medical needs. The Cass County State’s Attorney’s Office declined to file criminal charges in November 2018.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
