John A. Charron v. County of York, et al.
Case Number: 21-1753
Judge: Kayatta
Court: United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on a appeal from the District of Maine (Cumberland County)
Plaintiff's Attorney:
Defendant's Attorney: John J. Wall, III
Description: Portland, Maine personal injury lawyer represented Plaintiff, who sued defendants on civil rights violation theory under 42 U.S.C. 1983.
Plaintiff John Charron was arrested in March 2016 after a confrontation among neighbors left a Pontiac Sunfire abandoned in a snowbank. An occupant of the Sunfire alleged that Charron had pushed the car into the snowbank using his plow truck -- an allegation Charron denied. Deputies of the York County Sheriff's Office arrested Charron and charged him with several crimes. Charron worked to develop a body of exculpatory physical evidence that pointed strongly towards his
innocence. The charges against him were eventually dropped, after which Charron brought an array of federal and state-law claims against the County of York and various County officials.
Outcome: Affirmed
