769 S.W.2d at 784. They contend that the decision to arrest plaintiff Ladeas and the selection of the charge of trespass was made by the police officer after which a complaint was signed. Further, they contend they are not responsible for the police officer’s decision to arrest. For their legal position, they cite Restatement (Second) of Torts § 653 cmt d. (1977), arguing the evidence does not sustain the fact that the defendants procured the police officers to initiate the proceedings, therefore making defendants liable for instigation. As a result, they claim the second element is unproven.
