Defamation lawsuit filed by ex-Minneapolis police officer can move forward, court rules

Part of a lawsuit filed against the city of Minneapolis and its police chief by a former officer can move forward, the Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled last week. The lawsuit was filed against Chief Brian O'Hara and the city of Minneapolis in December 2023 by Tyler Timberlake, who was fired after joining the Minneapolis Police Department earlier that year. It accuses the city and O'Hara of defamation. The city and O'Hara tried to get the lawsuit dismissed, but a district court declined to do so in February. They appealed again, bringing the case to the appellate court. There, the court decided that one count of defamation from the lawsuit against O'Hara may go forward based on O'Hara's comments to the media. The defamation claim based on the city's statements in Timberlake's termination letter, however, will not go forward because they are protected by statutory immunity. The case will now go back to the district court. No further court dates have been scheduled. Timberlake, who is White, sued after a video from June 2020 surfaced of him — during his time as an officer in Fairfax County, Virginia — assaulting La Monta Gladney, an unarmed Black man who appeared to be in the midst of a mental health crisis. Body camera video showed Timberlake deploying a stun gun on Gladney, hitting him with it, and then using it again. He then kneeled on Gladney's neck and back. The violent encounter happened just days after George Floyd's murder in Minneapolis by former officer Derek Chauvin. Timberlake was charged with three counts of misdemeanor assault and battery but was acquitted in 2022. When news of Timberlake's past surfaced in April 2023, O'Hara said he knew nothing about it before hiring Timberlake. That claim was disputed by the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis. and contributed to this report.

Bodies of all 7 missing people found at a California fireworks warehouse that exploded

ESPARTO, Calif. (AP) — Authorities in Northern California have found the bodies of all seven people missing since an explosion last week at a fireworks warehouse that caused a wildfire and shook a tiny farming community. The barrage of fireworks that exploded Tuesday caused a massive blaze that led to other spot fires and collapsed the building in Yolo County, which lies about 40 miles (64 kilometers) northwest of Sacramento. All human remains have been recovered from the charred warehouse site, but the identities of the deceased were being withheld pending family notifications, the county said in a statement Sunday. 'Crews are continuing to mitigate explosive hazards present at the scene,' the statement said. The cause of the explosion was under investigation. Two people were treated for injuries following the blast in the town of Encarto, officials said. The warehouse was managed by Devastating Pyrotechnics, which has more than 30 years of experience designing and producing fireworks shows, according to a screenshot of its website before it was taken down. 'Our hearts and thoughts are with those we lost, their families, and everyone impacted in our community,' the company said in a statement last week. 'Our focus will remain on those directly impacted by this tragedy, and we will cooperate fully with the proper authorities in their investigation.' The wildfire covered nearly 80 acres (33 hectares) and scorched surrounding agricultural fields, officials said.
