Description
Following a report of child sexual abuse, Officer Kyllo inaccurately identified the suspect as plaintiff, even though he interviewed the actual suspect twice in jail. Kyllo filed a false affidavit in the form of a statement of probable cause, seeking a warrant for the arrest of plaintiff. A judge signed a warrant for plaintiff’s arrest, plaintiff was arrested and held in jail for two days, and plaintiff fought a criminal sexual conduct charge for a month until it was dismissed.
