Medtronic, Inc., Brooklyn Park Police Slapped With Lawsuit Over Handling of Bomb Threat

A former Medtronic employee is suing the company and Brooklyn Park Police Department in connection with a bomb threat made to the company early last year.

Chia Doua Yang, 61, claims in the lawsuit that three Brooklyn Park police officers falsely imprisoned him “based on false factual allegations” made by two Medtronic employees, according to the suit filed Friday in U.S. District Court.

On Jan. 21 and 22, 2013, the Fridley-based company received two separate bomb threats by phone. Brooklyn Park police later “determined there were no explosives or problems.”
