Enright v. Groves

Officer Groves (defendant), investigating a loose dog in violation of a leash ordinance, encountered Enright's (plaintiff) young son at her home, then approached Enright in her parked car and demanded her driver's license, though no ordinance required her to produce it on demand; when Enright refused, Groves arrested her for violating the dog leash ordinance, and she was later convicted of that ordinance violation. Enright sued Groves and the city for false imprisonment and won at trial.
