Loftin v. City of Prentiss, Miss.

Submitted by Re'Neisha Stevenson on Thu, 10/27/2022 - 12:31

Plaintiff arrested for aggravated assault arising from shooting; assertion that plaintiff acted in self-defense did not vitiate officers’ probable cause for arrest; in any event lack of probable cause was not clearly established; court affirms award of fees to defendants because plaintiff’s admission to officers that he shot victim and was identified by bystanders clearly demonstrated probable cause.
