Man Dies after Being Tased during Eviction Attempt in Willmar
WILLMAR, Minn. — In a tragic incident that unfolded in Willmar on Monday, a man who was tased during an attempted eviction has sadly passed away, according to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
The deceased has been identified as 75-year-old Michael Yanacheak. The exact cause of his death has not yet been determined, as stated by the BCA. Yanacheak was rushed to the hospital after Kandiyohi County deputy Riley Kampsen deployed a stun gun on him.
The events leading up to this unfortunate incident began when Kampsen, along with one other deputy and two Willmar police officers, arrived at Yanacheak’s apartment to carry out the court-ordered eviction, as confirmed by the BCA. Despite repeated requests, Yanacheak did not respond or open the door. After an hour of unsuccessful attempts, the apartment manager decided to pry the door open.
Upon entering the apartment, the officers discovered Yanacheak in a bedroom, where he reportedly approached them with a kitchen knife, according to the BCA. It was at this point that Kampsen made the decision to use his Taser.
The officers provided immediate medical assistance at the scene until Yanacheak was transported to the hospital for further treatment, the BCA stated.
While the investigation is still ongoing, the BCA has confirmed that both Kampsen and the Willmar officers were equipped with body cameras, which will aid in the assessment of the situation.
Kampsen, who has five years of law enforcement experience, will be cooperating fully with the investigation.
