Peterson finds for the county and sheriff's deputies in a lawsuit from a citizen claiming he was arrested with excessive force and without probable cause while recording with his phone the aftermath of a car accident on the highway in front of his house. While it's a close call, the deputies could be reasonably said to have probable cause to arrest the citizen for disorderly conduct or obstructing their investigation based on his behavior, including getting into angry interactions with and getting in the way of the deputies and a tow truck driver at the scene of the accident. Despite the citizen's claims that he could not breathe while officers briefly pinned him to the ground and handcuffed him after he resisted arrest, the deputies used reasonable force when arresting him. The deputies are entitled to qualified immunity, the citizen's false arrest and excessive force claims fail, and the county and deputies' motion for summary judgment is granted.
