Leroy frequented a pub called Bottom's Up. Late one Saturday night, an intoxicated man began shouting obscenities at a woman sitting at the table next to Leroy's. The woman ignored the man and continued to drink her beer. The man approached the lady, looking ominous. Leroy stood and asked the fellow over to the bar for a drink. The man grumbled that Leroy should mind his own business. The man reached out and grabbed the woman's wrist, and Leroy neatly twisted the man's other arm behind his back while restraining him with a neck hold. The man protested vehemently, but Leroy did not let go. Leroy placed the man firmly into a chair and told him not to move or else Leroy would have to punch him. The woman told Leroy that the man was her husband and asked him to leave them both alone. Leroy left the bar. The man sued Leroy for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and false imprisonment. Please discuss in full each of the foregoing torts and whether Leroy has any defenses to the man's complaint.
