Does this situation constitute as false imprisonment?

My boyfriend stood in the middle of the hallway and his sister and little brother were right behind him. She told him to move once but he didn't respond, then she took a pen and stabbed him in the back. The cops were called, and they wrote him a domestic violence victim form. Thirty minutes later, they decided that his sister was the victim instead and ended up arresting my boyfriend on the count of false imprisonment. I was under the impression false imprisonment is a form of kidnapping. Is standing in someone's way actually jepordizing their well-being or putting them in harm?Does this situation constitute as false imprisonment?
Any time someone is held against their will without just cause, it is false imprisonment.Does this situation constitute as false imprisonment?
If he blocked her way and refused to move so that she was free to leave, it is false imprisonment if he has no legal right to detain her.
Yes, that can very well qualify.
