OPINION
_________________________
THAPAR, Circuit Judge. Darrin VanPelt tried to escape while under arrest. So Officer
Aaron Layne tackled him and physically tried to lift him up. Now, VanPelt claims that he was
tackled and then lifted and dropped in violation of the Fourth Amendment. The district court
granted summary judgment, concluding Officer Layne was entitled to qualified immunity. We
affirm. |
