Baltimore Transit Co., 189 Md. 610 , 56 A. 2d 813 (1948), that the question of whether an arrest is motivated by malice or whether there exists wantonness is generally a question for the jury. 2 In addition to those facts we have recited, there was the additional testimony that, in effect, after having been forced to empty his pockets to establish his innocence, appellee was momentarily prevented from leaving the security office unless he agreed to sign a civil release, to which appellant was neither in fact nor in law entitled. 1973We likewise noted in Paul , citing with approval Dennis v.
