Enright v. Groves case brief summary
F: Groves observed a dog running loose in violation of city’s dog leash ordinance. Upon recognizing the P was in the vehicle parked at the curb by the house, Groves went to Enright. Groves demanded her driver’s license. She simply gave him her name and address, not a driver’s license. Not conforming to Grove’s request of showing a driver’s license, Groves grabbed her arms, and took her to the police station where charging her with violation of the dog leash ordinance.
I: Whether police’s arresting D due to not conforming to his demanding of D’s driver’s license without explaining the reason for it, but in fact the violation of dog leash ordinance, constitutes a proper legal authority for arresting D?
R: False arrest arises when one is taken into custody by a person who claims but does not have proper legal authority
C: affirmed
