Adopting Bartlett’s version of the facts, we agree with the district court that defendants had at least arguable probable cause to arrest Bartlett for harassment, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, or assault under Alaska law. When Sergeant Nieves initiated Bartlett’s arrest, he knew that Bartlett had been drinking, and he observed Bartlett speaking in a loud voice and standing close to Trooper Weight. He also saw Trooper Weight push Bartlett back. Although Bartlett may have his own explanations for his actions, these explanations were not known to Sergeant Nieves; the test is whether “the information the officer had at the time of making the arrest” gave rise to probable cause.
John v. City of El Monte, 515 F.3d 936, 940 (9th Cir. 2008). We agree with the district court that it did; a reasonable officer in Sergeant Nieves’s position could have concluded that Bartlett stood close to Trooper Weight and spoke loudly in order to “challenge” him, provoking Trooper Weight to push him back.
See Alaska Stat. § 11.61.120(a)(1). Therefore, we affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment to the troopers on Bartlett’s false arrest claim.
