Description

A riverbank confrontation between property owner Jack Staats and fish and wildlife officer James Brown spawned this action for false arrest, false imprisonment, assault and battery, and violation of the federal Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. sec. 1983. At issue is whether a fish and wildlife officer may effect a warrantless arrest for unlawful resistance based upon failure to provide information; whether this arrest, lawful or not, was accomplished through the use of excessive force; and, ultimately, whether Officer Brown enjoys immunity from suit under state and/or federal law. The trial court dismissed the action based upon state and federal claims of qualified immunity, whereas the Court of Appeals, in an unpublished opinion, reversed and remanded for trial. We granted the petition for review filed by Officer Brown and the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, and now affirm in part and reverse in part.
