Officer Lindman, along with Officer Bevins, detained James Peterson in a patrol car during a theft investigation in 1986. Peterson alleged this detention violated his Fourth Amendment rights. The court found that the officers lacked probable cause for the detention, leading to a jury award of $5,000 to Peterson.
