Opinion
May 7, 1999
Appeal from Judgment of Supreme Court, Monroe County, Cornelius, J. — Robbery, 1st Degree.
Present — Pine, J. P., Hayes, Pigott, Jr., Scudder and Balio, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: We agree with the suppression court that the police had probable cause to pursue and arrest defendant. An officer received a description of the suspect over the police radio and from the victim ( see, People v. Sekoll, 254 A.D.2d 797); the victim pointed out defendant, who was walking along the street, as the person who robbed him ( see, People v. Grant, 254 A.D.2d 700); and defendant fled when the pursuing officer directed him to stop ( see, People v. Lindsay, 249 A.D.2d 937, lv denied 92 N.Y.2d 900). The bargained-for sentence is neither unduly harsh nor severe.
