East TN grandmother held at gunpoint after AI found her a fraud suspect

An East Tennessee grandmother is considering filing a lawsuit over her arrest by police in North Dakota.

Angela Lipps was identified as a bank fraud suspect by an AI facial recognition system in West Fargo.

U.S. Marshals arrested her at gunpoint last summer while she was babysitting four children in Tennessee.

She remained in custody for 108 days until her lawyer produced bank records showing she was in Tennessee when the crime was committed in North Dakota.

Since then, North Dakota authorities have said they didn’t know she was in custody.
