Stadtmueller dismisses with prejudice a lawsuit from a citizen bringing excessive force, unlawful arrest and other constitutional claims over his arrest after police found him passed out in his parked and running car, during which time he smelled like alcohol and police found marijuana and a pipe in his car. The citizen's motion for a mistrial is denied because all of his accusations of a conspiracy by prosecutors and court officials to thwart his case are meritless and untrue, as are accusations that he was attacked by individuals at the behest of prosecutors the night after his trial, which are easily disproved by security footage showing him drunkenly falling and striking his head and arguing with first responders before he was briefly hospitalized and discharged, then came to court bleeding profusely, refused to cooperate and left before the jury could deliver its verdict. The citizen's actions are worthy of sanctions, so the officers' attorneys' motion for sanctions is granted in that he must pay $1,118 for the cost of empaneling the jury, plus the costs the attorneys took on to respond to his mistrial motion.
