The following excerpt is from People v. Lyon, C078690 (Cal. App. 2016):
First, defendant argues there was no probable cause to arrest him. We disagree. "An arrest is valid if supported by probable cause. Probable cause to arrest exists if facts known to the arresting officer would lead a person of ordinary care and prudence to entertain an honest and strong suspicion that an individual is guilty of a crime." (People v. Kraft (2000) 23 Cal.4th 978, 1037.)
