What is the test for probable cause in a false arrest case?

"'[P]robable cause is an absolute defense to a false arrest claim.'" Torraco v. Port Auth. of N.Y. and N.J., 615 F.3d 129, 139 (2d Cir. 2010) (quoting Jaegly v. Couch, 439 F.3d 149, 152 (2d Cir. 2006)). "An officer has probable cause to arrest when he or she has knowledge or reasonably trustworthy information of facts and circumstances that are sufficient to warrant a person of reasonable caution in the belief that the person to be arrested has committed . . . a crime." Jaegly, 439 F.3d at 152. A court "must consider [only] those facts available to the officer at the time of the arrest and immediately before it." Panetta, 460 F.3d at 395 (internal quotation marks and emphasis omitted). A court examines each piece of evidence and considers its probative value, and then "look[s] to the totality of the circumstances" to evaluate whether there was probable cause to arrest and prosecute the plaintiff.
