Ramsey County investigating federal agents for possible kidnapping charges in Hmong man's detainment

The Ramsey County Attorney and sheriff announced Monday that they are investigating federal agents for possible criminal charges, including kidnapping, after they pulled a St. Paul man out of his home in January into below-zero windchill wearing nothing but boxers and Crocs.

On Jan. 18, agents broke open the door for the home of 56-year-old U.S. citizen ChongLy Scott Thao, handcuffed him, and removed him. The agents may have committed crimes including kidnapping, burglary and false imprisonment, said County Attorney John Choi and Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher.

Speaking at a news conference April 13, Choi said his office is in the active investigation stage of two incidents involving federal agents, and the preliminary stage of three others in Ramsey County.
