The following excerpt is from United States v. Mejia-Zayas, 19-30265 (9th Cir. 2021):
Our precedent supports the district court's determination that the agents had probable cause to arrest Defendant for drug trafficking. See, e.g., United States v. Tarazon, 989 F.2d 1045, 1048-49 (9th Cir. 1993) (holding that probable cause to arrest existed when an informant described prior drug dealings with a defendant, arranged a drug deal while permitting law enforcement to monitor communications between the informant and the defendant, and those communications and other actions by the defendant confirmed the informant's statements).
