PHOTOS Minneapolis Police Beating Victim

Photos of Derryl Jenkins after Feb. traffic stop

Published : Monday, 17 Aug 2009, 11:08 AM CDT

Derryl Jenkins, 42, was stopped for speeding in February. A criminal complaint obtained by FOX 9 says Jenkins was driving 15 mph over the speed limit in the area of Dowling Ave. N. and Penn Ave. N. in Minneapolis.

At the time, Minneapolis police said Jenkins smelled of alcohol, refused to give his license and became irate. When Jenkins attempted to get out of the car, an officer pushed him back in. The two then started fighting, before several more officers arrived on the scene.

The officer statements obtained by FOX 9, say several police officers kicked him and punched him because he was resisting. A Taser was also used to subdue Jenkins.
Both Jenkins and an officer involved in the altercation were taken to North Memorial Medical Center for their injuries, which included a split lip and bloody nose.

Minneapolis Police Chief Tim Dolan has reviewed the dash cam video of officers beating a man stopped for speeding and says he will ask the FBI to investigate the case.

After reviewing the video, Dolan released the following statement:


"I have reviewed the videos of the arrest of Mr. Jenkins by Officer Walker. Hand to hand fighting with a suspect on the street is one of the most dangerous encounters for police officers. Officer Walker’s actions all appear to be very appropriate.

Some of the actions of responding officers, specifically the kicking of the suspect, give me concern; because of this, I am asking for an outside review by the FBI. Additionally, the incident has been referred to my Internal Affairs and Training Units for a review of our arrest procedures in dealing with suspects resisting arrest.

Though the federal review may take some time, the Minneapolis Police Department reviews will begin immediately and will be done in a short amount of time."


Jenkins' attorney says charges in that case were eventually dropped, but he's now considering a lawsuit against the Minneapolis Police Department.
