Description
Order Walter K. Davis, a pro se Ohio resident, appeals a district court judgment dismissing his civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This case has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. Upon examination, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a). Seeking monetary relief, Davis sued two Columbus, Ohio police officers for false arrest and malicious prosecution. After the police were told by a pedestrian that a man matching Davis's description was selling expensive jewelry on the street, the defendants approached Davis about the allegation. After Davis became very agitated about the inquiry, one of the officers, who feared Davis might assault him, conducted a brief frisk which revealed several pieces of what appeared to be expensive jewelry without accompanying receipts. Davis was asked to sit in the police cruiser while the officers radioed in to see if there had been any recent reports of jewelry theft. Davis became increasingly agitated, which led to his being arrested for persistent disorderly conduct. Pursuant to a plea agreement, a bail forfeiture in the amount of $50 was agreed to and entered on the charge of disorderly conduct. The bail forfeiture was suspended for time served.
