Mr and Mrs

Mr. and Mrs. Hampton went to a restaurant and ordered roast duck dinner for two. When they began their dinners, they found that the duck was frozen in the middle. They ate what they could of the dinner but complained to the waiter. The waiter listened but merely gave them the bill for the entire cost of the dinner. Mr. Hampton put half of that amount on the table and began to leave. The waiter and the manager caught up to him before he reached the front door, and although they allowed Mrs. Hampton to leave, they restrained Mr. Hampton. Furthermore, the manager called the police, who, after listening to the waiter and Mr. Hampton explain just what happened, arrested Hampton and took him to jail. Mrs. Hampton bailed him out within three hours. On these facts, which one of the following is true?

A) Mr. Hampton could not sue the police who arrested him.
B) Mr. Hampton could sue the waiter and the employer for the tort of false imprisonment.
C) Mr. Hampton could also sue for defamation.
D) The Hamptons could sue the employer of the waiter for the tort of nuisance.
