Your arrest was a false arrest. You could be arrested for failing to provide your drivers' license if you are in your vehicle and don't have it with you but you shouldn't have been arrested for identifying yourself which you did. The officer had no cause to ask for your drivers' license. That was just bogus. Good luck with your case.

He was “arrested” as soon as the store stopped him from leaving. Not only was he arrested but so was his father when they stopped him from leaving and blocked his car. He might have a good false arrest claim against the store. That said the guy is a jerk.

A couple years ago, the Supreme Court heard a case similar to this in which a fellow was arrested for not producing identification despite that he was not driving. His arrest was upheld.
