Angela Lipps, a 50-year-old Tennessee grandmother, made headlines last spring after AI facial recognition identified her as a suspect in a bank fraud case halfway across the country. Now, Lipps is suing the City of Fargo and the detective responsible for her wrongful arrest for $10 million.
On July 14, 2025, Lipps was at her neighbor's house to help watch her children when a stranger knocked on the door. Little did she know her life was about to be turned upside down. Her neighbor answered the door and spoke with the stranger, who asked about a lost dog, according to the lawsuit filed in federal court. Immediately after, her neighbor's child remarked that there were people outside with guns.
