Jin Dong Wang, a Chinese national, has filed a police brutality lawsuit in federal court against Dubrall, the CNMI government, DPS, former DPS commissioner Santiago F. Tudela, and unnamed co-defendants when Dubrall allegedly used excessive force during Wang's mistaken arrest on Oct. 18, 2010. Wang, through counsel David G. Banes, alleged that Dubrall severely beat him with the butt of his gun and punched and kicked him.

In October 2010 former police officer Jesse Dubrall was with several other CNMI Department of Public Safety officers at an As Lito, Saipan apartment building to conduct a sting operation on a suspected drug trafficker. Jin Dong Wang stepped out of his second floor apartment to visit a friend. He noticed flashlights on the first floor below him. DPS Officer Jesse Dubrall came up stairs and pointed a gun at him. Then without provocation, the officer hit Wang in the back of his head with the butt of his gun. He then kicked the defenseless man continually. Dubrall handcuffed Wang, took his wallet and went inside his house while he lay on the balcony in a pool of blood.
