Committee Comments
This form alleges circumstances showing a lawful arrest. If an arrest is not necessary to instigate the judicial proceeding, omit any claim of a lawful arrest and instead merely set out the circumstances showing the commencement of a valid judicial proceeding. See Sears, Roebuck & Co. v. Alexander, 252 Ala. 122, 39 So.2d 570 (1949) and Bessie Mae Prince v. B. G. Bryant, 274 Ala. 134, 145 So.2d 837 (1962).
