Perhaps, perhaps not. That is a question of fact for a judge or jury to decide.

There existed probable cause for the police officer(s) to believe that a crime had occured, which is sufficient to make an arrest and begin criminal proceedings. Go to the prelim exam and try to shoot down the prosecutor's case. If you can convince the judge that there was no probable cause to believe a crime has occurred, then it ends there.
