United States Tenth Circuit
Stearns v. Clarkson, 09-3103
In an action arising out of plaintiff's arrest and strip search, a denial of defendants' motion for summary judgment is affirmed in part where the facts would not lead a reasonable person to conclude that probable cause existed to arrest plaintiff for disorderly conduct. However, the order is reversed in part where, while the record did not support a conclusion that defendant himself reasonably believed probable cause existed to arrest plaintiff, it in no way undermined his reliance on "the flawed conclusions of [his] fellow police officers."
