Judge Calabrese agreed in his ruling on Tuesday, but stopped short of striking down the Ohio law that had allowed for her arrest.

Judge Calabrese said in his ruling that “without question” Ms. Frenchko was removed from the meeting because she “communicated a message disfavored by those in power.”

“Here in America, we do not arrest our political opponents,” Judge J. Philip Calabrese of the Northern District of Ohio wrote in the ruling on Tuesday.

Calabrese ruled that the sheriff, two deputies, and both county commissioners named in the suit — one of whom has since left the board — are personally liable for damages.

Calabrese, in Tuesday’s ruling, said the evidence showed that Frencko’s “speech caused her arrest.”
