Overview

• The lawsuit, filed in federal court this week, seeks $40 million and names three Eagan officers, seven Dakota County corrections officers, and Dakota County.
• Plaintiffs say officers discussed a possible stroke, a Drug Recognition Evaluator failed to complete the 12-step assessment, and at least one body camera was muted as the concern was raised.
• EMS drew blood at the police station and asked about a hospital transfer, but Bimpong was taken to Dakota County Jail, where his condition worsened over several hours.
• Jail records and video show checks logged as "OK" despite visible distress; vitals were first taken after three hours and 26 minutes, Narcan was administered three times, and EMTs later recorded blood pressure near 240/216.
• An autopsy found an intracerebral hemorrhage with negative toxicology; the DOC separately cited lapsed first-aid and CPR certifications and documentation failures, while Eagan says no obvious medical emergency was present and Dakota County declined comment.
