United States Eighth Circuit

In an action based on plaintiff's false arrest for impersonating a police officer, and for false imprisonment and terroristic threatening of suspected drug offenders, defendants' appeal from the denial of summary judgment based on qualified immunity is dismissed where, in denying defendant-officers summary judgment based on qualified immunity, the district court carefully explained the material disputed facts which, when viewed most favorably to plaintiff, would permit a reasonable jury to find that the officers lacked objectively reasonable probable cause to arrest plaintiff on each of the three charges.
