St. Paul police plan to release skyway surveillance videos Wednesday related to the controversial arrest of 28-year-old Chris Lollie earlier this year.

Lollie, of St. Paul, recorded his interaction with police officers on Jan. 31 and posted the cellphone video to YouTube on Aug. 26. The video, which Lollie titled “Black man taken to jail for sitting in public area,” has been viewed more than 1.2 million times. The video goes dark after about 2 minutes, when Lollie said an officer put his cellphone on a ledge, but the audio continued.

The skyway surveillance videos are expected to show some of what happened in the First National Bank Building before police were called and Lollie’s encounter with officers, during which he was shocked with a Taser.

A security guard in the bank building told police that Lollie had been sitting “for some time” in a skyway-level lounge area designated for building employees, and police have said they were responding to that information when they arrived. Police wrote in a report that Lollie was “actively resisting by attempting to pull his arm away” and “began to forcefully try to shove past us as he was pulling away from us,” and an officer used a Taser on him.

St. Paul’s mayor has called for a review of the case.

Lollie had been charged with three misdemeanors, including trespassing, but the city attorney’s office dismissed the charges on July 31. Police had been holding Lollie’s phone in evidence after his arrest and he got it back when the court case was over.

St. Paul’s skyways are public, similar to a public sidewalk, City Attorney Sara Grewing said last week. She said she has seen areas of the skyway marked “employees only,” but that “certainly was not what we had here,” Grewing said of the First National Bank Building seating area.

Richard Rossi, First National Bank Building senior property manager, said in a statement last week, “We have zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind at The First National Bank Building. Our first priority is to ensure the safety and security of all tenants and guests, and we will fully cooperate with any and all inquiries from the appropriate authorities.”
