Farrell v. Macys Retail Holdings, Inc.2016 U.S. App. LEXIS 6791 (4th Cir. 2016)
Stephanie and William Farrell were shopping at a Macys department store that was located in a Maryland mall. The asset protection manager for Macys observed William, and then the couple, and saw what is set forth in this statement of facts. Initially, William walked around the store wearing a jacket that he had not yet purchased. Then after removing the jacket, William selected several items from sales racks, removed the items from their hangers, and placed the items into a bag. He also appeared to move away from where he selected the jacket before placing it into the bag and leaving the jackets hanger on a different rack. After the Farrells began shopping together, the couple selected a robe for William, and he again removed it from the hanger and placed it in the bag. The Farrells then approached the exit to the mall, where two mall security officers, one of whom was wearing his security uniform, were sitting. After getting within 5 to 10 feet of the exit, the Farrells turned backinto the store. Suspecting that the Farrells were attempting to shoplift store items, Macys employees then stopped them, detained them, and questioned them. The store employees released the Farrells after determining that they were not shoplifting. Is this a case of false imprisonment?
