B.R., et al., Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. Brian MCGIVERN, et al., Defendants-Appellees, 714 F. App'x 528

Cook, Circuit Judge. This case involves four preteen girls, graphic accusations of sexual assault, and serious claims of bullying. C.M., F.S., and R.B. accused their schoolmate B.R. of forcing them to engage in sexual acts with her at sleepover parties. They alleged that B.R. threatened to harm them if they told anybody about the incidents. Based on information gleaned primarily from interviews with the four girls, the police arrested B.R. After a juvenile delinquency proceeding cleared B.R. of all criminal charges, B.R. and her parents sued the City of Canfield and several police officers alleging, among other claims, unconstitutional seizure. The district court granted

summary judgment to Defendants on all counts, and Plaintiffs appealed. We AFFIRM. I. A.Initial Suggestions of Sexual Assault On April 16, 2012, C.M.’s mother discovered a message written on the chalkboard in her daughter’s bedroom. Signed by F.S., the message suggested that F.S. had been raped by her best friend. After informing F.S.’s mother, C.M.’s mother spoke with C.M. and R.B. about the chalkboard when the girls arrived at her house after school.

C.M. gave her mother a note written by F.S. containing graphic details about B.R. forcing F.S. to engage in various sexual acts, including oral sex and vaginal penetration with a writing instrument. In addition, R.B. informed C.M.’s mother that B.R. had also sexually assaulted R.B. and C.M. The girls claimed that B.R. threatened to spread rumors at their school that C.M. and R.B. were lesbians if they told anyone. That same day, F.S.’s father called David Blystone, the former Canfield Police Department Chief, expressing concern that his daughter had been sexually assaulted.

Blystone then called Chuck Colucci, the current Canfield police chief, to inform him that he might have a new case on his hands. On April 17, F.S.’s father met with Detective Brian McGivern and Officer Timothy Lamping at the Canfield police station. He explained that F.S. told him that B.R. sexually assaulted her twice during a sleepover at B.R.’s home in February 2012—once during the evening in the basement, and again the next morning in B.R.’s bedroom.

F.S. had described the incidents as forceful kissing and removal of her clothes; she told her father that B.R. attempted digital, but only accomplished oral, vaginal penetration. F.S.’s father also reported that C.M. and R.B. claimed B.R. sexually assaulted them, prompting the officers to contact C.M.’s mother. She discussed with them F.S.’s chalkboard message and her conversation with C.M. and R.B.; she also gave the officers F.S.’s note. The officers also met with R.B.’s mother, who told them that R.B. described several occurrences of forced sexual contact by B.R, including oral sex.

According to R.B.’s mother, R.B. pled with B.R, to stop attacking her, triggering B.R. to bully R.B. and spread rumors about R.B. being a lesbian. Detective McGivern discussed the meetings with Assistant Prosecutor Anissa Mo-darelli. He also contacted the Mahoning County Children Services Board, requesting its assistance in investigating the matter. Children Services, however, informed Detective McGivern that it would not have a facility to interview the children for nearly three weeks.

That wouldn’t work for Detective McGivern: knowing that B.R. was having a sleepover birthday party only several days later, he arranged for Children Services to interview the accusers at the police station within a matter of days. The following day, Officer Steve Garstka met with Canfield Middle School interim principal Don Dailey. Dailey knew the four girls from conflict resolution meetings.

In documentation he provided to Officer Garstka, Dailey recounted that he saw R.B., F.S., and B.R. walking and talking together on April 16, “appearing] to [him] that possibly things are back on track.” Dailey wrote that he met with F.S. and R.B. on April 17, during which time the girls “indicated that things were not good with [B.R.] ” and shared that “there were some ‘sexual’ encounters or attempts. They spoke of ‘lap dancing’ and [he] believe[d] an attempted kiss.” Dailey then stopped his conversation with the girls.

Following the meeting, Officer Garstka shared Dai-ley’s notes with Assistant Police Chief Scott Weamer. B. First Round of Interviews with R.B., C.M., and F.S. On April 20, Kim Woods, a case worker from Children Services, interviewed R.B., C.M., and F.S. individually at the Canfield Police Department. Each interview lasted roughly 20 minutes. Nobody else sat in on the sessions, but Detective McGivern, Officer Lamping, and Assistant Prosecutor Modarelli watched live video feeds (Assistant Chief Weamer watched live feeds of C.M.’s and F.S.’s interviews). R.B. went first.

She told Woods that the first time B.R. slept over at her house, B.R. showed her pornography on her iPod.

After that,' B.R. “forced [R.B.] down onto her bed; with [R.B.] on her back, [B.R.] pulled off [R.B.]’s pants and underwear; [B.R.] then used two of her fingers to digitally penetrate [R.B.]’s vagina.” R.B. continued, explaining to Woods that “[B.R.] forced [R.B.] to receive oral sex; [B.R.] then forced [R.B.] to digitally penetrate [B.R.] ’s vagina; at that point, [B.R.] took her clothes off and proceeded to sit on [R.B.]’s face; [B.R.] forced [R.B.] to lick [B.R.] ’s vagina.” After this, B.R. warned R.B. that she would hurt R.B. if she told anybody about what happened.

R.B. also recounted a separate sleepover at B.R.’s house, during which “[B.R.] tided to give lap dances to and Mss [R.B.], [F.S.], and [C.M.]” Woods interviewed C.M. next. According to C.M., she slept over at B.R.’s house the prior week, during which B.R. watched pornography.

B.R. took off C.M.’s clothes and then removed her own. “[B.R.] forced [C.M.] onto the bed and then started ‘licking’ [C.M.]’s vagina; [B.R.] then forced [C.M.] to ‘lick’ [B.R.]’s vagina.” C.M. continued, recounting that “[B.R.] forced [C.M.] to put her finger in [B.R.]’s ‘butt’; [B.R.] reciprocated by doing the same to [C.M.]; [B.R.] told [C.M.] that she would Mil her if [C.M.] didn’t do as she was told.” C.M. also “stated that she was forced to give and receive oral sex with [B.R.] on at least five different occurrences” and “confirmed that there was vaginal digital penetration by [B.R.] ... [C.M.] was also forced to put her fingers in [B.R.]’s vagina.” B.R. said she would kill C.M. if she told anyone about what happened.

C.M. also discussed another incident where B.R. allegedly forced her, R.B., and F.S. onto mats and started Mssing and “humping” them. F.S. sat for her interview last. She described for Woods a sleepover she attended with C.M. and R.B. at B.R.’s house after Christmas 2011. F.S. said that B.R. watched lesbian pornography in front of the group and suggested they all practice Mssing, After F.S., C.M., and R.B. refused, B.R. tried to give them lap dances.

F.S. next discussed a subsequent sleepover at B.R.’s house, at which B.R. also watched pornography and tried to give F.S. a lap dance. “[B.R.] then took [F.S.] ’s pants and underwear off; [B.R.] began to ‘lick’ [F.S.] ’s vagina as the pornography showed on the i[P]od; [B.R.] removed her clothes and forced [F.S.] to ‘lick’ [B,R.]’s vagina.” F.S. stated that B.R. attempted to, but couldn’t, digitally penetrate her vagina.

Next, “[B.R.] forced [F.S.] to digitally penetrate [B.R.]’s vagina with her fingers; [B.R.] then got a marker and put it inside of [F.S.] ’s vagina,” which, F.S. explained, “hurt badly.” F.S. said that B.R. forced F.S. to give and receive oral sex the following morning. If F.S-. told anybody about what happened, “[B.R.] threatened [F.S.] that she would ‘be dead.’ ” ' Detective McGivern, Officer Lamping, Assistant Chief Weamer, Assistant Prosecutor Modarelli, and Woods found the three girls credible. C. Interview with B.R.

Later that day, Detective McGivern called B.R.’s mother and asked her to bring B.R. to the Canfield Police Department. When B.R.’s mother arrived with her daughter, Detective McGivern mentioned that B.R. may be sexually active with some of her friends. B.R.’s mother didn’t comment on that—but she did say that several of B.R.’s friends were bullying her at school. She agreed to let Detective McGivern and Officer Lamping interview B.R., for which she stayed in the room. The interview began after the officers read B.R. her Miranda rights, and B.R. signed a waiver before answering any questions.

B.R. said that R.B., F.S., and. C.M. were bullying her at school. When asked if she had sleepovers with her friends, “[B.R.] took a long pause before answering yes” and confirmed that R.B., F.S., and C.M. all slept over during the 2011 holiday season. B.R. confirmed that she has an iPad that she uses in her bedroom, but declared that she never watched pornography on it. She did, however, state that R.B. once showed her pornography on an iPad while sleeping over with F.S. at R.B.’s house.

After Detective McGivern “explained to [B.R.] that law enforcement was able to get all of the deleted sites from her iPad,” B.R, clarified that C.M. and R.B. had pulled up pornography on her iPad when B.R. was using the restroom. B.R. admitted to sitting on hér friends’ laps “but not .in a weird way,” She denied touching any of the other girls’ private areas. After she and her mother took a break from the interview, B.R. advised that her friends (F.S. in particular) were spreading lies about B.R. having raped them at sleepovers.

B.R. maintained that she did not rape any of her friends, nor did she have any type of sexual contact with them.

B.R. “appeared nervous” and “almost started to cry” when Detective McGivern said that he believed something happened to her and asked her about somebody forcing herself on her. “[S]he advised that [R.B.] makes her nervous as [R.B.] ‘got up on her’ one time during a sleep over. [B.R.] explained that [R.B.] [lay] on top of her but was joking and nothing happened. [B.R.] also advised that [R.B.] then got off of her and both were clothed at this time. [B.R.] then advised that [R.B.] sat on [C.M.] and [F.S.] but nothing happened that was sexual.” B.R. reiterated that she did not rape any of her friends and that none of them raped her.

She also repeated that she was being bullied at school by the three girls. After another break, Detective McGivern “advised [B.R.] that her three friends were accusing her of rape and that she had pulled down their pants. [He] also advised [B.R.] that they were advising that [B.R.] licked them and shoved a Sharpie Marker inside one of the girls. At this time [B.R.] advised that she did not do any of these reported crimes when the mother stopped the interview.” At her deposition, B.R.’s mother testified that she spoke with Detective McGi-vern during a break in her daughter’s interview.

She explained to him that F.S. had told B.R. that they should tell the police that R.B. raped them. B.R.’s mother also informed Detective McGivern that F.S. had sent a Facebook message to B.R. threatening to “beat[ ] the piss out of’ her. D. Second Round of Interviews with R.B., C.M., and F.S. According to Detective McGivern’s police report, “there was enough probable cause to make an arrest for multiple counts of [r]ape” after B.R.’s interview; he decided, however, to interview the three other girls to determine if they had made false statements to Woods that morning.

With B.R. detained in the booking room, Detective McGivern and Assistant Chief Weamer interviewed R.B., C.M., and F.S. one by one after reading each her Miranda rights. Each girl affirmed that she told the truth to Woods, although Detective McGivern and Assistant Chief Weamer advised them that they did not want to discuss details. Detective McGivern noted in his report that he did not find the girls deceitful. Detective McGivern arrested B.R. after finishing the interviews. Officer Lamping and another officer took her to the juvenile detention center.

Following the arraignment several days later, the Juvenile Justice Court placed B.R. on electronically monitored home detention in the care of her grandmother. E. Final Interviews with R.B., C.M., and F.S. One month later, B.R.’s father contacted the Canfield Police Department requesting that it take a report and initiate an investigation regarding an assault against B.R. on January 6. When Juvenile Officer Paul Lasky arrived at her house, B.R. told him that R.B. had assaulted her at a group sleepover. According to B.R., R.B. got on top. of her, touched her inappropriately, and would not relent.

B.R. said that R.B. then got on top of O.M. and touched her inappropriately. Given' B.R.’s criminal witness statement, Detective McGivern visited C.M.’s house about one week later and interviewed C.M. with her mother present. C.M. recalled a sleepover at B.R.’s house during the winter where, after F.S. had already left, she found B.R. and R.B. “on the floor ‘humping each other.’ ” She said that R.B. never got on top of her or tried touching her inappropriately, and that she had not seen R.B. engage with B.R. sexually beyond what she saw on the floor.

Later that day, Detective McGivern interviewed R.B. at the Canfield Police Department.

With R.B.’s mother present, Detective McGivern told R.B. about B.R.’s statement “and asked her if she and [B.R.] were ‘humping.’ ” R.B. explained “that all of the girls were ‘experimenting1 and all were involved in kissing and humping.... [R.B.] then advised that all of the girls were in an agreement to experiment but they were only to kiss, hump, and lap dance.” Next, R.B. stated that “[B.R.] got on top of her and ‘talked’ her into going farther” when the two of them were alone. “[R.B.] advised that [B.R.] asked, ‘Please’, in which [R.B.] granted permission to go farther in which time [B.R.] continued sexual behavior with [R.B.] [R.B.] advised that she was NOT forced by [B.R.] and simply ‘talked’ into sexual conduct, to include digital penetration.” Detective McGi-vern shared this information with Assistant Prosecutor Modarelli.

R.B.’s revised story prompted Detective McGivern to interview C.M. and F.S. once more. C.M. admitted that all four girls had been experimenting sexually. Yet she insisted that B.R. forcefully raped her and that she didn’t scream for help during the incident because B.R. said she would kill her. F.S. told Detective McGivern that “[R.B.] and [B.R.] were lying on each other, humping each other, and kissing each other” at the January sleepover at B.R.’s house.

She admitted that she lied during her initial interview about B.R. showing the girls pornography: R.B. told her to say that B.R. pulled up the pornography, even though R.B. actually did so. Still, F.S. maintained that B.R. forcefully raped her. F. B.R.’s Juvenile Delinquency Proceeding i The magistrate assigned to B.R.’s juvenile delinquency case held two merits hearings in August 2012. He found reasonable doubt that B.R. committed any of the alleged acts. The juvenile court judge adopted the magistrate’s decision in February 2013. G.

Procedural History Following B.R.’s acquittal, B.R. and her parents filed the instant case against Detective McGivern, Chief Colucci, Assistant Chief Weamer, Officer Lamping, and the City of Canfield. They alleged a violation of B.R.’s Fourth Amendment rights, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, abuse of process, failure to train, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, loss of consortium, and loss of familial association. The district court granted

summary judgment to Defendants on all claims. Plaintiffs appeal. II. A. Standard of Review We review the district court’s grant of

summary judgment de novo. Miller v. Am. Heavy Lift Shipping, 231 F.3d 242, 246 (6th Cir. 2000).

Summary judgment is appropriate only “if the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 66(a). “In reviewing the district court’s decision to grant

summary judgment, we view all the facts and the inferences drawn therefrom in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party.” Cockrel v. Shelby Cty. Sch. Dist., 270 F.3d 1036, 1048 (6th Cir. 2001) (citing Matsushita Elec. Indus., Co. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 587, 106 S.Ct 1348, 89 L.Ed.2d 538 (1986)). B. Fourth Amendment Claim Plaintiffs brought á 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim against the officers, alleging an unlawful seizure in violation of the Fourth Amendment.

The Fourth Amendment protects “[t]he right of the people to be secure in their persons ... against unreasonable searches and seizures.” “[A] warrantless arrest by a law officer is reasonable under the Fourth Amendment where there is probable cause to believe that a criminal offense has been or is being committed.” Devenpeck v. Alford, 543 U.S. 146, 152, 125 S.Ct. 588, 160 L.Ed.2d 537 (2004); see also Fridley v. Horrighs, 291 F.3d 867, 872 (6th Cir. 2002) (“In order for a wrongful arrest claim to succeed under § 1983, a plaintiff must prove that the police lacked probable cause.” (citing Painter v.

Robertson, 185 F.3d 557, 569 (6th Cir. 1999))). “Whether probable cause exists depends upon the reasonable conclusion to be drawn from the facts known to the arresting officer at the time of the arrest.” Devenpeck, 543 U.S. at 152, 125 S.Ct. 588 (citing Maryland v. Pringle, 540 U.S. 366, 371, 124 S.Ct. 795, 157 L.Ed.2d 769 (2003)). “Probable cause exists if the facts and circumstances known to the officer warrant a prudent man in believing that the offense has been committed.” Logsdon v. Hains, 492 F.3d 334, 341 (6th Cir. 2007) (quoting Henry v.

United States, 361 U.S. 98, 102, 80 S.Ct. 168, 4 L.Ed.2d 134 (1959)). Detective McGivern arrested B.R. for rape. Ohio Rev. Code § 2907.02(A)(1)(

b) defines rape as sexual conduct with somebody younger than 13 years old. Although the Ohio Supreme Court found this

section unconstitutional as applied to a child under 13 who engages in sexual conduct with another child under 13, the offender may be found, guilty of- rape if “the offender compels the other person to submit by force or threat of force.” In re D.B., 129 Ohio St.3d 104, 950 N.E.2d 528, 533-34 (2011) (citing Ohio Rev. Code § 2907.02(A)(2)). The officers had probable cause to believe that B.R. committed rape. During their initial interviews, R.B., C.M., and F.S. recounted similar stories of sexual assault. All three girls stated that B.R. showed them pornography.

All three girls described B.R. forcefully undressing them. All three girls explained that B.R. forced them to participate in oral sex. All three girls reported that B.R. coerced them to engage in various acts of vaginal penetration. And all three girls indicated that B.R. threatened them with physical harm if they told anybody about the incidents. Woods, the Children Services case worker who interviewed the girls, found all three credible, as did the officers and assistant prosecutor watching the live video feeds. Then Detective McGivern interviewed B.R.

Given B.R.’s demeanor and answers during the interview—her long pauses before answering several questions, her shifting story about viewing pornography on her iPad, and denying any type of sexual conduct with R.B., C.M., and F.S.—Detective McGivern had reason to doubt B.R.’s credibility. After Woods’s interviews with the accusers and his interview with B.R., Detective McGivern determined that there was probable cause to arrest B.R. Nonetheless, he interviewed R.B., C.M., and F.S. to test the veracity of their stories.

We acknowledge Plaintiffs’ contention that Detective McGivern did not press the girls about the details they shared with Woods. He did, however, Mirandize them and ask about the truthfulness of their statements. None of the girls backtracked, and, once again, Detective McGivern did not detect any deceit. Plaintiffs list various statements B.R.’s mother made to Detective McGivern and other “facts” available to Defendants before they arrested B.R., contending that the officers made no attempt to investigate them. But upon reviewing the record, we do not conclude that the officers ignored this information.

At bottom, when Detective McGivern “determine[d], on the basis of the facts and circumstances known to him, that probable cause exist[ed], [he had] no further duty to investigate or to search for exculpatory evidence.” Logsdon, 492 F.3d at 341 (citing Ahlers v. Schebil, 188 F.3d 365, 371 (6th Cir. 1999)); see also Klein v. Long, 275 F.3d 544, 551 (6th Cir. 2001) (“[O]nce a police officer has sufficient probable cause to arrest, he need not investigate further.”). Plaintiffs argue that Wesley v. Campbell, 779 F.3d 421 (6th Cir. 2015), compels a different result. We disagree.

In Wesley, a seven-year-old student with a history of psychological problems and suicidal impulses leveled sexual-abuse allegations against his school counselor, prompting the counselor’s arrest. Id. at 424-27,432. Finding probable cause, the district court dismissed the counselor’s false-arrest claim. Id. at 427. A panel of this court reversed, noting that the child’s “uncorroborated allegations were legally insufficient to create probable cause.” Id. at 429. Plus, “[without question, [the childj’s allegations against [the counselor] were facially implausible.” Id. at 431.

The child claimed he was sodomized multiple times while in the counselor’s office—located in the school’s crowded administrative area and in the line-of-sight of multiple staffers. Id. at 431, 436. He also alleged that the counselor was nude during the assaults but left the office door open, and that both he and the counselor “st[ood] straight up during the sodomy. ... [a] physical arrangement [that] seems completely implausible [due to then-height difference].” Id. at 436. Here, the allegations and accusers do not suffer the same defects.

Three different children alleged substantially similar incidents of sexual assault by B.R. Their eyewitness accounts align with the information Detective McGivern learned from the girls’ parents on April 17. See United States v.

Shaw, 464 F.3d 615, 623 (6th Cir. 2006) (“An eye witness’s statement that he or she saw a crime committed or was the victim of a crime is generally sufficient to establish probable cause.”); Ahlers, 188 F.3d at 370 (“An eyewitness identification will constitute sufficient probable cause unless, at the time of the arrest, there is an apparent reason for the officer to believe that the eyewitness was lying, did not accurately describe what he had seen, or was in some fashion mistaken regarding his recollection of the confrontation.” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).

And when Detective McGivern interviewed R.B., C.M., and F.S. following their meetings with Woods, they all affirmed that they told the truth. See, e.g., United States v. Harness, 453 F.3d 752, 754 (6th Cir. 2006) (finding probable cause for an arrest where the officer “had spoken directly to the victim about the attempted sexual battery, and nothing about the allegation itself cast doubt on the victim’s reliability”).

Furthermore, the record does not suggest that the girls’ claims were improbable, let alone “completely implausible,” Wesley, 779 F.3d at 436, particularly given that the alleged incidents occurred behind closed doors during sleepovers, see Ahlers, 188 F.3d at 370-71 (noting that an accusation of sexual assault, “standing alone, was sufficient to establish probable cause, espe-dally when bolstered by ... records which confirm that there was a window of time within which the alleged sexual assault could have occurred”). Could the officers have been more thorough in their investigation? Without question.

Could they have, for instance, asked more detailed questions of R.B., C.M., and F.S. during their second interviews? Absolutely. But on the facts before us—and on the information known to the officers on April 20—the district court correctly found no genuine issues of material fact regarding whether Defendants had probable cause to arrest B.R. Because there was no constitutional violation, the officers are entitled to qualified immunity. C.

Gerstein Hearing Claim Plaintiffs also contend an issue of material fact exists concerning whether Defendants failed to ensure a probable-cause hearing for B.R. within 48 hours of her arrest. Cty. of Riverside v. McLaughlin, 500 U.S. 44, 47, 63, 111 S.Ct. 1661, 114 L.Ed.2d 49 (1991); Gerstein v. Pugh, 420 U.S. 103, 95 S.Ct. 854, 43 L.Ed.2d 54 (1975). Not so. Detective McGivern arrested B.R. on April 20, and Officer Lamping transported her to the Mahoning County Juvenile Detention Center on the same day.

The Defendants—the City of Canfield and its officers—did not violate B.R.’s constitutional right to a Gerstein hearing when she left city custody on the same day as her arrest. Accordingly, there was no violation—at least not by these Defendants—of B.R.’s right to receive a prompt probable-cause determination. D. Monell Claim Plaintiffs allege that the officers arrested B.R. without probable cause because the City of Canfield regularly assigned police officers to investigate juvenile sexual misconduct without proper training.

A municipality can be liable under § 1983 when its official “policy or custom” triggers a violation of a plaintiffs constitutional rights. Monell v. Dep’t of Soc. Servs. of N.Y.C., 436 U.S. 658, 694-95, 98 S.Ct. 2018, 56 L.Ed.2d 611 (1978). But “[t]here can be no [municipal] liability under Monell without an underlying constitutional violation.” Robertson v. Lucas, 753 F.3d 606, 622 (6th Cir. 2014) (citing Scott v. Clay Cty., 205 F.3d 867, 879 (6th Cir. 2000)); see also Blackmore v. Kalamazoo Cty., 390 F.3d 890, 900 (6th Cir. 2004).

Inasmuch as the officers did not violate the Constitution, the district court properly granted

summary judgment to the City of Canfield on Plaintiffs’ Monell claim. E. Malicious Prosecution Claim Under Ohio law, a malicious prosecution claim requires (1) malicious instituting or continuing the prosecution, (2) lack of probable cause, and (3) conclusion of the prosecution in favor of the accused. Froehlich v. Ohio Dep’t of Mental Health, 114 Ohio St.3d 286, 871 N.E.2d 1159, 1162 (2007) (quoting Trussell v. Gen. Motors Corp., 53 Ohio St.3d 142, 559 N.E.2d 732, 736 (1990)). The officers had probable cause to arrest B.R.; therefore, the district court properly granted

summary judgment to Defendants on Plaintiffs’ malicious prosecution claim. F. Remaining State Law Claims Defendants contend that Plaintiffs did not adequately present the remaining state law claims for our review. We disagree, although we acknowledge that Plaintiffs fail to offer a nuanced development of the issues. Instead, they lump their remaining state law claims into a two-sentence paragraph at the end of their brief. They contend simply that genuine issues of material fact exist regarding their state law claims because a genuine issue of material fact exists regarding the presence of probable cause.

But as we have already explained, the officers had probable cause to arrest B.R. Thus, we uphold the district court’s finding for Defendants on Plaintiffs’ various state law claims. III. For the aforementioned reasons, we AFFIRM the district court’s judgment. ■ COOK, J., delivered the opinion of the court in which ROGERS and STRANCH, JJ., joined. STRANCH, J. (pp. 16-22), delivered a separate concurring opinion. . Plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their state law claims against the City of Canfield.
