Surat v. Klamser

Submitted by Re'Neisha Stevenson on Tue, 12/06/2022 - 15:40

Excessive force claim not barred by Heck, not inconsistent with conviction for resisting arrest and obstructing officer, based on analysis of elements; factual disputes precluded determination of whether force was excessive; officer entitled to qualified immunity in any event because not clearly established that using takedown maneuver to throw arrestee to ground while she was resisting arrest but did not pose danger to officer or others would violate her rights.
