Opinion
November 15, 1989
Appeal from the Erie County Court, D'Amico, J.
Present — Callahan, J.P., Boomer, Pine, Lawton and Davis, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant contends that the suppression court erred in denying his motion to suppress certain items of physical evidence because they were the fruits of an illegal arrest. We agree with the suppression court that the information radioed to the officers describing the robbery suspect, which matched the officer's observation of defendant, was sufficient to provide probable cause for defendant's arrest (see, CPL 140.10 [b]; People v Brnja, 50 N.Y.2d 366, 372-373). Further, since defendant did not specifically challenge the reliability of the information relayed to the officer, reliability may be presumed (see, People v Dodt, 61 N.Y.2d 408, 416; People v Jenkins, 47 N.Y.2d 722, 724).
