Randall Ricci v. Arlington Heights, Illinois, Andrew Whowell and Jerome Leonard

Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

Decided June 20, 1997No. 96-2229PublishedCited by 28 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

ILANA DIAMOND ROVNER, Circuit Judge.

Randall Ricci was arrested for operating a business without a license, in violation of an Arlington Heights, Illinois ordinance. He subsequently sued the Village of Arlington Heights and the two arresting officers pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, claiming the defendants violated his civil rights by subjecting him to full custodial arrest for violation of a fine-only ordinance. Because we find the arrest reasonable for Fourth Amendment purposes, we affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of the defendants.
