023220P.pdf   11/14/2003  Brian Arthur Hill  v.  Patrick Scott
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-3220
   District of Minnesota   
Civil case - civil rights. Officer was entitled to qualified immunity as he had sufficient identifying information to reasonably conclude that a warrant existed for Hill's arrest, and no reasonable officer would have known that failing to investigate further would violate the Fourth Amendment; arresting officers did not violate Hill's constitutional rights when they refused to release him after it was determined there was no warrant for his arrest, as they had separate, independent basis for detaining him; defendants were entitled to summary judgment on state law claims for false arrest and intentional infliction of emotional distress were. Dissent by Judge Heaney on the issue of qualified immunity.
