McIntyre’s Second Claim. 

C. THIRD CLAIM. 

Plaintiff’s Third Claim was for False Arrest. The jury found in favor of Plaintiff on this claim

and awarded to her $100,000. This Claim can only be established on proof of an arrest without

probable cause. Since the Court has ruled that as a matter of law there was probable cause for an

arrest and Officer Foster is entitled to qualified immunity, Defendants are entitled to Judgment as a

Matter of Law on Plaintiff Bushell McIntyre’s Third Claim. 

D. FOURTH CLAIM.

With respect to Plaintiff’s Fourth Claim, the jury was instructed that Plaintiff claims that her

rights protected by the Fourth Amendment were violated when she was arrested by Officer Foster

without probable cause and when unreasonable force was used to place her under arrest. Pursuant to

the Court’s legal conclusions articulated above, the Court disregards the jury’s verdict and will enter

Judgment as a Matter of Law in favor of Defendants on Plaintiff Bushell McIntyre’s Fourth Claim. 

5. CONCLUSION 

For the reason set out in this Order, Judgment as a Matter of Law should be entered in favor of

Defendants and against Plaintiff Bushell-McIntyre. The motion for a new trial is denied.
