    No. 00-2248WM.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted May 2, 2001.
    Decided May 29, 2001.
    
      Before MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, RICHARD S. ARNOLD, and FAGG, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Marc Perkel appeals the District Court’s adverse grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, in which he alleged that the City of Springfield, Missouri, and some of the City’s police officers and employees violated the Constitution and state laws by arresting him, detaining him, and generating a police report that contained defamatory statements about him. We affirm.

After de novo review, see Hawkins v. City of Farmington, 189 F.3d 695, 705-06 (8th Cir.1999), we conclude that defendants were entitled to judgment as a matter of law on all of plaintiffs federal claims. The warrantless arrest outside of plaintiffs home was lawful, because the arresting officers had probable cause to arrest him for trespassing based on the trespassing victim’s report. See Greiner v. City of Champlin, 27 F.3d 1346, 1358 (8th Cir.1994) (when warrantless arrest for misdemeanor occurs outside house, police need only probable cause); see also Kiser v. City of Huron, 219 F.3d 814, 815-16 (8th Cir.2000) (where police officer received credible and unsolicited report from alleged kidnaping victim and report contained sufficient detail to suggest victim spoke truthfully, officer had probable cause to arrest § 1983 plaintiff for felony without warrant). The protective sweep of plaintiffs house incident to the arrest also was lawful. See Maryland v. Buie, 494 U.S. 325, 334-37, 110 S.Ct. 1093, 108 L.Ed.2d 276 (1990) (officers may conduct protective sweep of premises incident to lawful arrest). Further, the conditions in the holding cell where plaintiff was detained for ten hours were not so deplorable as to deprive him of the minimal civilized measures of life’s necessities. See Key v. McKinney, 176 F.3d 1083, 1086 (8th Cir.1999).

We also conclude that defendants were entitled to judgment as a matter of law on all of plaintiffs state law claims. First, plaintiff did not dispute at his deposition that the statements contained in the police report were true. See McClanahan v. Global Sec. Serv. Co., 26 S.W.3d 291, 293 (Mo.App.2000) (truth is absolute defense to defamation action). Second, plaintiffs embarrassment about the statements in the police report was insufficient to sustain an intentional-infliction-of-emotional-distress claim. See Balke v. Ream, 33 S.W.3d 589, 595 (Mo.App.2000) (plaintiff must show, among other things, that defendant’s conduct caused plaintiff severe emotional distress resulting in bodily harm). Third, the arresting officers had probable cause to believe that plaintiff had committed trespass. See Simpson v. Indopco, Inc., 18 S.W.3d 470, 473 (Mo.App.2000) (for malicious-prosecution claim, plaintiff must provide “strict and clear proof’ of, among other things, want of probable cause for prosecution). Last, plaintiffs ten-hour confinement was permissible under Missouri law. See Mo.Rev.Stat. § 544.170 (2000) (person arrested without warrant may be confined in jail for up to 20 hours).

Accordingly, we affirm.
