Erica Brody and Michael Glennon were awarded a summary judgment dismissal

Erica Brody and Michael Glennon were awarded a summary judgment dismissal on behalf of a Whitman Police Department sergeant in a personal injury matter brought against the Whitman Police Department and several officers. The plaintiff had alleged that he was battered, falsely imprisoned and falsely arrested by Whitman police officers following a citizen report of a road rage incident. Erica and Mike argued that their client was entitled to common law immunity for the tort claims against him, and the court agreed, noting that the record was devoid of evidence that the sergeant acted with a dishonest purpose, conscious wrongdoing, or some motive of interest or ill will.
