“'As this Court stated in Smith v. State, (1971) 256 Ind. 603 , 271 N.E.2d 133 , 136: "The test for probable cause to make an arrest is whether at the time of the arrest the facts and circumstances ... were sufficient to warrant a prudent man of reasonable caution in believing that the arrestee had committed or was committing an offense. Beck v. Ohio, (1964) 379 U.S. 89 , 85 S.Ct. 223 , 13 L.Ed.2d 142 .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Powers v. State · Snyder v. State“"That some of the underlying facts may be shown at a later date to be untrue does not change the fact that probable cause did exist for the arrest. Appellant does not argue that probable cause did not exist based upon Jerry Miller's original version of the incident. Therefore, we find no error as to this issue."”
