The court is back in session. Former Minneapolis Police Sgt. David Pleoger takes the witness stand. State prosecutor Steve Schleicher is doing the questioning.
Pleoger said he was a sergeant on May 25, 2020. He stated he was the person called by the 911 dispatcher, who voiced her concerns about what she saw on the video monitor at 38th Street and Chicago Avenue. He was the 3rd Precinct supervisor that was on duty at the time of Floyd s death.
The retired sergeant was the first supervisor to arrive at the scene that day. He arrived at 8:45 p.m., about 37 minutes after officers first encountered Floyd and 14 minutes after the call with the dispatcher ended.

Of those, only five could be charged.
And of those, none are related to carjacking. All five of the men charged were charged with some form of a drug offense, said retired Judge Daniel Mabley, who is consulting with the Hennepin County Attorney s Office on carjacking cases.
In the criminal complaints filed against those five men, carjacking scenarios are not even mentioned. Three of them were released without bail, one posted bond, and one was bailed out by the Minnesota Freedom Fund. KARE 11 News is unable to check the status of the rest of the 46 arrests, because authorities have not provided a list of all the names.
