201162P.pdf   02/05/2021  Courtney MacKintrush  v.  Dustin Hodge
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-1162
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Gruender and Stras, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. The district court did not err in denying the 
   defendant jail employee's motion for summary judgment based on qualified 
   immunity as a jury could find plaintiff's constitutional right to be free 
   from excessive force was violated when the defendant slammed plaintiff to 
   the ground, knocking him unconscious; it was clear from Eighth Circuit 
   precedent that a body slam was excessive force when used against a 
   nonviolent, nonthreatening misdemeanant who pulled his arm away from the 
   officer.
