False-arrest lawsuit dismissed

AKRON — A federal judge has dismissed a false-arrest lawsuit by a former employee union president at Youngstown State University, saying it was untimely filed and that any claims under state law must first be filed in the Ohio Court of Claims.

U.S. District Judge John R. Adams recently dismissed a lawsuit filed by Ivan Maldonado, former president of the Association of Classified Employees at YSU, saying Maldonado had two years to sue after his March 31, 2009, arrest, but missed the deadline because he didn’t sue until June 27, 2011.
