1Opinion of the CourtMain, J.

Appeal from a judgment in favor of claimant, entered March 7, 1984, upon a decision of the Court of Claims (Murray, J.).

The Court of Claims awarded claimant $4,500 for false arrest and the State appeals. The arrest giving rise to this claim occurred at about 1:00 a.m. on October 10, 1980 in the Town of Champlain, Clinton County, and was effected by State troopers who found what was believed to be a controlled substance in claimant’s car. After the drug was determined to be other than a controlled substance, the criminal charges against claimant were dismissed and this claim was made.
