Opinion
CHRISTIAN, J.
William Robinson, Jr., appeals from a summary judgment dismissing his complaint for false arrest.
Adolph Pippus operated a limousine rental service. In June 1967, Pip-pus’ services were retained for three days by Harold Cunningham, who called himself “Smokey Robinson,” impersonating an entertainer who used that stage name. Because Cunningham did not pay Pippus for his services, Pippus caused a criminal complaint to be filed in May 1968, charging that “Harold Cunningham also known as ‘Smokey Robinson’ ” refused to pay a “legal fare for a public passenger vehicle for hire.”
