The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld a ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that will allow a former California resident to file a lawsuit against the city of San Carlos and two police officers. According to the lawsuit, the officers wrongly broke into the home of Bruce Hopkins and arrested him after he was involved a fender-bender in August 2003. The officers claimed they suspected Hopkins was intoxicated at the time of the crash. However, all charges were eventually dropped. A trial in the case is expected to be scheduled sometime in the next few months.
