Description
Summary judgment was granted defendants Central Arkansas Broadcasting Company, Inc., Carl Connerton, a news reporter, and police officers Ronald W. Stobaugh and Jackie Race, in a suit brought by Marvin Holman under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for alleged invasion of Holman's right of privacy and other civil rights. Holman also alleged a claim under 18 U.S.C. § 2520.1 We affirm. On November 20, 1975, Holman and his wife were stopped on the highway at approximately 3:56 A.M., and taken to the Russellville, Arkansas police station. Holman was charged with the offense of driving while intoxicated, second offense, and using profane and abusive language; Mrs. Holman was charged with public drunkenness. Holman, an attorney, had formerly served as municipal judge. The original complaint alleged the police officers, acting under color of state law, entered into a conspiracy with Connerton to publish an embarrassing news account of Holman's arrest and subsequent behavior.
