Opinion
May 26, 1998
Appeal from the County Court, Rockland County (Nelson, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The hearing court properly refused to suppress physical evidence seized from the defendant. The undisputed circumstances gave the police officers a reasonable suspicion that criminal activity was afoot (see, People v. Hollman, 79 N.Y.2d 181; People v. De Bour, 40 N.Y.2d 210), and the brief detention and transportation of the defendant to the nearby crime scene was a reasonable means of quickly confirming or dispelling the officers' suspicions (see, People v. Hicks, 68 N.Y.2d 234; People v. Pagan, 173 A.D.2d 744).
Because the defendant did not pay restitution by the time the sentence was imposed, the court did not err in requiring him to make restitution and pay a mandatory surcharge and crime victim assistance fee (see, Penal Law § 60.35; People v. Cabrera, 243 A.D.2d 720).
