Elrod finds the district court properly granted most of the arresting officers’ motions for summary judgment based on qualified immunity in this suit brought on claims of false arrest. After an anonymous person using a blocked number called 911, threatening officers and an alleged hostage, officers arrived at the location provided to find a man with no hostage and no weapons. He was taken into custody and released when the investigation proved inconclusive. Though the officers credibly believed that lives were in danger, the first officer on the scene asserts that the nature of the probable cause changed from the time of the initial arrest to the duration of the detention, and that there was no probable cause after the original facts had dissipated. The district court improperly dismissed the Fourth Amendment claims against the first officer. Affirmed in part. Reversed in part and remanded.
