   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-1597
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Arnold, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. In action against the City and a towing company 
   for damages incurred when her truck was towed, plaintiff established 
   sufficient evidence that the City had an unwritten or unofficial policy of 
   reporting vehicles as wanted on the regional justice network in hopes of 
   detaining the vehicle against the owner's wishes and without a warrant; a 
   jury could also find that this policy resulted in the towing company's 
   retention of plaintiff's truck; a jury could find the towing company 
   understood the City's intent to hold the truck and willfully participated 
   in the policy; a reasonable juror could find on plaintiff's evidence that 
   the towing agency was acting under color of law when it refused to allow 
   plaintiff access to her truck.
