How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • recognizing that if additional invalid charges lengthen someone’s detention that changes the nature of a seizure
  • concluding that the any-crime rule applies to most claims of malicious prosecution
  • stating that an individual “may be convicted if they make it ‘more difficult’ for law enforcement to gain control of a situation” (quoting State v. Florence, No. CA2013-08-148, 2014 WL 2526069, at (Ohio Ct. App. June 2, 2014))
  • “[A] person is no more seized when he’s detained to await prosecution for several charges than if he were seized for just one valid charge.”
  • “Probable cause exists when there are enough ‘facts and circumstances’ to make a reasonable person believe that ‘the accused was guilty of the crime charged.’”
  • “If the facts known to the officers support probable cause in any form, then an individual may lawfully be arrested.”
