   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-2074
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Melloy and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. The district court did not err in denying 
   defendant officer's motion for summary judgment based on qualified 
   immunity and the City's motions for summary judgment based on official 
   immunity; it was not objectively reasonable for the officer to arrest 
   plaintiff based on the mistaken belief that plaintiff kicked him as he had 
   reason to know plaintiff could not have delivered the kind of pain he felt 
   and he did not observe plaintiff commit a criminal act and was not told by 
   anyone else that she had; this court has previously held that an officer 
   who did not witness a crime did not have arguable probable cause to arrest 
   a suspect when an officer did minimal investigation, ignored exculpatory 
   evidence and disregarded an eyewitness in close proximity and, as a 
   result, a reasonable officer, looking at the entire legal landscape, could 
   not interpret the law as permitting an arrest; under Minnesota law, a 
   factfinder could determine the officer had reason to believe that he 
   arrested plaintiff without probable cause, and the City, therefore, was 
   not entitled to official immunity.
