Crookston PD were sent to a call about an apparently intoxicated and naked man in the street with a hatchet showing erratic behaviors just after midnight in Crookston. Police arrived, tasered, fired beanbags at the increasingly agitated man and Officer Fladland finally fired at least 12 bullets into his body.
Officer Nick Fladland would go on and shoot and kill Christopher Junkin on July 9, 2024.
On July 9, 2024, the BCA confirmed that multiple bullet wounds had killed Junkin and simultaneously recommended not to charge officer Fladland for this killing. It was known at the time of this recommendation that he had already killed a second person days prior to being cleared. He had been cleared back to work at an unknown time before being cleared by BCA as he was back on duty on June 30, 2024 to kill Christopher Junkin.
