Stearns v. Clarkson, No. 09-3103, involved an action arising out of plaintiff’s arrest and strip search. The court affirmed in part the denial of defendants’ motion for summary judgment, holding that the facts would not lead a reasonable person to conclude that probable cause existed to arrest plaintiff for disorderly conduct. However, the court reversed in part, on the ground that, 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.”
