Description

The opinion of the court was delivered by This is an action brought by the plaintiff, Lorraine Alvarado, to recover damages for false arrest, assault, defamation, and violation of civil rights under 42 U.S.C. Â§ 1983 (1982). The case was submitted to a jury which brought in a verdict in favor of the defendants. Plaintiff appealed to the Court of Appeals which reversed and remanded the case for a new trial (Alvarado v. City of Dodge City, 10 Kan. App. 2d 363, 702 P.2d 935 [1985]). The defendants Alco Discount Stores and Robert Fox then filed a petition for review which was granted by the Supreme Court. The plaintiff's claim arose as a result of her detention as a suspected shoplifter at the Alco Discount Store in Dodge City on January 16, 1982, by Robert Fox, an off-duty police officer, who at the time was working as a security guard at Alco. The facts in the case were disputed.
