**Results may vary depending on your particular facts and legal circumstances**
Plaintiff instituted suit initially bringing multiple claims against the Township of Ewing Police Department and two of its officers arising from his arrest following a domestic violence call. These included false arrest, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, malicious prosecution, abuse of process, and a violation of 42 U.S.C. Section 1983. Through Motion practice, the claims were essentially whittled down to malicious prosecution.
Following extensive discovery, utilizing incident video and depositions, a thorough Motion for Summary Judgment was granted by the Court. As Plaintiff has agreed not to appeal, this matter has now successful been closed.
