What court records exist about Jonathan Ross’s June dragging incident and medical treatment?
Executive summary
Federal court records from a June 17, 2025 Bloomington, Minnesota arrest identify the involved ICE agent as Jonathan Ross and describe that he was caught in a fleeing vehicle, dragged down the street, transported to hospital, and treated for multiple lacerations and abrasions; those filings — cited by numerous outlets — also include photographs and were used in the prosecution of the driver, Roberto (or Roberto Carlos) Muñoz-Guatemala (Muñoz) [1] [2] [3].
1. The underlying court case and who the records concern
The court documents stem from federal proceedings tied to the June detention attempt of Roberto Carlos Muñoz-Guatemala (referred to as Muñoz in jury materials), in which prosecutors charged Muñoz with assault on a federal officer after he fled in a vehicle while agents attempted an immigration arrest; those same filings identify the injured Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) agent as Jonathan Ross [4] [2] [1].
2. What the filings say happened during the June arrest
The court papers describe Ross positioning a vehicle to stop Muñoz, breaking a car window and reaching in to try to unlock the door when Muñoz accelerated and dragged Ross with the vehicle — a sequence captured on video according to the records — and indicate Ross fired a Taser during the struggle though the taser did not stop the car [5] [6] [3].
3. Medical treatment and injury descriptions in the records — consistent core details
Across the court filings as reported, Ross was transported for medical care and received stitches for lacerations and suffered abrasions to knees, elbows and face; photos submitted to the court reportedly show bleeding and a deep jagged arm wound and at least one image of Ross in a hospital setting [7] [6] [3].
4. Discrepancies in stitch counts and distance dragged — what the records appear to show and where outlets diverge
Multiple news organizations citing the court records agree Ross required sutures, but reported stitch totals vary: several outlets quote 20 stitches to one arm and 13 to a hand (total 33) [5] [7] [8], others summarize “more than 50 stitches” or say simply “received stitches” without a precise count [3] [6]. Reported distances Ross was dragged also vary across accounts — figures range from about 50 yards to roughly 100–300 feet — reflecting differences in how the court descriptions or contemporaneous DHS releases were summarized by reporters [7] [9] [5]. The court records themselves are the primary source for these facts; divergent press summaries show inconsistency in secondary reporting rather than in a single consolidated figure available in the press pool [2] [4].
5. Photographs and affidavit material included in filings
Several news organizations explicitly note that the court filings included photographs — including images of Ross’s arm wounds and a hospital-bed photograph — and an affidavit or FBI material that contained identifying images used to match Ross to later footage of the Minneapolis shooting [3] [6] [4].
6. Legal outcome tied to those filings and how they relate to the records
Those court records were used in the prosecution that led to Muñoz’s conviction on assault charges related to the June incident, indicating the filings served both as factual narrative and evidentiary support in federal court [2] [8]. Reporting ties the June case’s documents directly to public descriptions by government officials after the subsequent Minneapolis shooting [1].
7. Limits of available reporting and unresolved document-level questions
All cited assertions come from media reporting that reviewed or summarized federal court documents; the available reporting does not uniformly reproduce the original docket entries or the full medical records, and outlets differ on precise stitch counts and distances, so confirmation requires direct inspection of the federal docket and medical exhibits referenced in the filings, which this review could not independently obtain from the cited articles [6] [7] [3].
