1Opinion of the Court
ROVNER, Circuit Judge.
Chicago police officers arrested Jeremy Venson in 2007 for possession of a controlled substance and solicitation of an unlawful act, and he spent 19 days in jail. After a preliminary hearing resulted in the dismissal of the charges for want of probable cause, Venson sued the three officers involved in his arrest — Lazaro Altamirano, Christopher Jania, and John O’Keefe — for false arrest, illegal search, and malicious prosecution pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The case was tried to a jury, which found in favor of the defendants. Venson appeals, and we affirm.
