Court Upholds Trooper’s Immunity | Duluth News

A federal appeals court has upheld the dismissal of a civil lawsuit against Minnesota State Trooper Ryan Londregan, ruling no constitutional violations occurred during the 2023 traffic stop that led to Ricky Cobb’s death. The court found no unlawful seizure and concluded deadly force wasn’t clearly unconstitutional in this context. The case, already marred by key prosecution witnesses withdrawing and the lead prosecutor stepping down, was further weakened by video evidence contradicting the prosecution’s story. Criminal charges were dropped in June, and Londregan’s legal team now seeks fees, alleging unfair representation tactics by the Attorney General’s office. The legal battle isn’t over.
