U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-3065
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Melloy and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - civil rights. The facts and circumstances presented to
defendant Fraser when he encountered plaintiff at the restricted collapse
site of the I-35W bridge provided probable cause to arrest plaintiff for
trespass; as a result, Fraser was entitled to qualified immunity on
plaintiff's false arrest claim; existence of probable cause is fatal to
plaintiff's claim that he was arrested in retaliation for asserting his First
Amendment rights
