Brandishing, apprehension, and fear: is the ABC liable?
U.Va. student sues state, ABC agents for $40 million
I don't doubt she was traumatized (unlike the Henrico bus driver).
So, does she have a case?
U.Va. student sues state, ABC agents for $40 million
A University of Virginia student charged with assaulting two Virginia ABC agents attempting to stop her for the underage purchase of beer that turned out to be sparkling water has filed a $40 million suit against the state and seven agents.
...
After one agent drew a handgun and another jumped on the car hood she said she panicked, unsure they were really agents, and fled the scene in her car grazing two of the agents. The charges were later dropped, and her record was expunged.
Among other things the 47-page suit, filed Tuesday in Richmond Circuit Court, alleges malicious prosecution, failure to train ABC agents appropriately, and six counts of assault and battery.
...
The suit alleges that Daly has suffered from a tremor in her right hand, intense anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and other problems as a result of the April 11 incident.
I don't doubt she was traumatized (unlike the Henrico bus driver).
