Opinion
December 16, 1997
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (James Leff, J.).
Defendant's suppression hearing was properly denied. Under the circumstances, the arresting officer's testimony implicitly provided sufficient information as to the content of the radio transmission, as well as establishing that the arrest took place within minutes of, and at the location of, the narcotics transaction, so as to allow the hearing court to make an independent determination that the arrest was supported by probable cause. This case is unlike the situation presented where the People completely fail to establish the content of the description ( see, People v. Rivera, 187 A.D.2d 258).
