Parvi v. City of Kingston

Police, responding to a fight involving an intoxicated Parvi (plaintiff), drove him to an abandoned golf course outside the city rather than arresting him, after he said he had nowhere to go; about an hour later he wandered onto a highway and was struck by a car. Parvi sued the City of Kingston (defendant) for false imprisonment, but at trial admitted he had no memory of the incident, though police testified he had responded to their commands to get in the car and had requested to be dropped elsewhere; the trial court dismissed the case, and the appellate division affirmed.
