Mayor Issues Statement
City of Edina Mayor Jim Hovland recently issued a statement in response to a police incident that occurred Wednesday, Oct. 12:
Just before noon Oct. 12, an Edina Police Officer observed and stopped Larnie Thomas, who was walking in the lane of traffic on a busy city street. Thomas was detained at the scene. People across the country are expressing concern about how he was treated by the Edina Police.
Thomas was not taken to jail. He was driven to a local shopping mall at his request and released. The citation issued to Thomas will be dismissed.
The officer involved was following established protocol. However, under the circumstances, the City will review that protocol and determine how to better approach this type of incident with greater sensitivity in the future.
We will work with the Edina community and invite other organizations to participate in this very important conversation. There are lessons we should and will learn from this experience.
