41. Is the woman likely to recover in an action against the customer?
In a tavern, an intoxicated woman threatened to slash a man with a broken beer bottle. Another customer, who had not been threatened by the woman, forcefully grabbed the woman and locked her in the tavern's storeroom until the police could arrive. In the process, although the customer used reasonable force, the customer badly sprained the woman's wrist.

B is incorrect. The woman cannot recover on a claim for battery because the customer's conduct was privileged as a defense of others.
C is incorrect. To prove a false imprisonment claim, there must have been a willful detention, the detention must have been without consent, and the detention must have been unlawful. However, here the customer only locked the woman in the tavern's storeroom until the police could arrive. Therefore, the customer has a valid defense.
D is incorrect. As stated above, the woman does not have a cause of action for battery or false imprisonment.
