775 So. 2d 1010; 2001 Fla. App. LEXIS 467; 2001 WL 55373 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Mas v. Metropolitan Dade County

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the summary judgment in the County’s favor on plaintiffs’ false arrest/false imprisonment claims. “The record clearly shows, without material dispute, that the police officers had probable cause to arrest [plaintiffs].” Medard v. Miami-Dade County, 769 So.2d 1127,1127 (Fla. 3d DCA 2000); Bolanos v. Metropolitan Dade County, 677 So.2d 1005 (Fla. 3d DCA 1996). “Since probable cause is a complete bar to an action for false arrest and false imprisonment, summary judgment was properly entered in the County’s favor.” Bolanos, 677 So.2d at 1005 (citations omitted).

Affirmed.
