Pope County Wins Eighth Circuit Appeal by Arrestee
In a published opinion, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the early dismissal of Brian Ulrich’s claims against Pope County and its deputies for his 2011 arrest for violating a harassment restraining order. The restraining order prohibited direct or indirect contact with the petitioner and her children. Ulrich attended the graduation ceremony of one of the petitioner’s children, knowing the restraining order was in effect. Pope County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a call reporting Ulrich’s presence in violation of the restraining order. Ulrich refused to leave and the deputies arrested him for violating the restraining order. Ulrich sued Pope County and its deputies, alleging his arrest was without probable cause. The Eighth Circuit affirmed the United States District Court’s conclusion there was probable cause for Ulrich’s arrest based on a violation of the indirect contact provision. Both courts looked to Minnesota appellate cases reasoning proximity to a protected person may be a violation of the indirect contact provision of a restraining order. The Eighth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of all Ulrich’s claims. Pope County was represented by Jon K. Iverson and Stephanie A. Angolkar.
