Durand v. Brookshire Grocery Co.

I,SULLIVAN, Judge.

Darrell Durand sued Brookshire Grocery Company, d/b/a Super 1 Foods, (Brookshire) for false imprisonment and defamation after a store manager stopped and questioned him for suspicion of shoplifting. The trial court granted partial summary judgment in favor of Mr. Durand as to Lability, and Brookshire has appealed. Because the record contains conflicting evidence on the reasonableness of Brookshire’s actions and on whether defamation has been proved, we find that Mr. Durand has not shown the absence of a genuine issue of material fact. We, therefore, reverse and remand.
