Syllabus

SUMMARY JUDGMEMT — FALSE ARREST: The trial court did not err in granting defendants' motion for summary judgment where plaintiff failed to show that an issue of genuine material fact existed as to his false-arrest claim where (1) defendant's call for assistance from police and identification of plaintiff as the thief could not be construed as a request to arrest plaintiff, (2) plaintiff failed to show that defendant maliciously identified plaintiff as the thief, and (3) plaintiff failed to name his actual arresters—the deputies and their employer—as required under Ohio tort law.
