Description
Plaintiff Carolyn Kilgore is appealing from an adverse judgment in her action seeking monetary damages against the City of Mansfield, Ohio and Mansfield policeman P. Messer for the violation of her constitutional rights arising out of an incident which occurred on June 4, 1978. Kilgore claims the defendants were acting under color of state law and sued under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The complaint alleges that on June 4, 1978, Kilgore, while working at a Mansfield tavern, was arrested by Officer Messer, handcuffed, and taken to the Mansfield Police Station. Kilgore alleges that at the police station Officer Messer stated that he did not know what he would charge the plaintiff with and that she refused to sign a waiver of claim against the defendants and was then jailed. The complaint further alleges that a criminal charge was filed against the plaintiff but was later dismissed. Finally, Kilgore alleged that Officer Messer acted in furtherance of the policies and customs of the City of Mansfield and its police department in violation of the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments.
