   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-1524
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Joplin   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Gruender and Arnold, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. Defendant Deputy Sheriff Ford had probable 
   cause to arrest plaintiff based on the oral and written statements of the 
   victim and the corroborating evidence available to the officer, and he was 
   entitled to qualified immunity on plaintiff's Fourth Amendment false 
   arrest claim; the evidence does not show the sheriff or a second deputy 
   had any involvement in the arrest, and they were entitled to qualified 
   immunity on plaintiff's Fourth Amendment false arrest claim; none of the 
   the purported inadequacies in the investigation amounted to 
   conscience-shocking behavior and plaintiff did not establish a Fourteenth 
   Amendment due process violation by the sheriff and deputies; because 
   plaintiff failed to establish that he was derived of a constitutional 
   right or privilege, his Section 1983 civil conspiracy claim must fail as a 
   matter of law; in the absence of a constitutional violation by a county 
   employee, plaintiff's Monell claim against the county must fail, as well.
