Opinion
December 20, 1993
Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County (Pirro, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The record reflects that the defendant's arrest was supported by probable cause. Further, the officers' entry into the apartment where the defendant was hiding was permissibly based upon the prior consent of a resident of the apartment (see, People v Adams, 53 N.Y.2d 1, 8, cert denied 454 U.S. 854; People v Cosme, 48 N.Y.2d 286; People v Prochilo, 41 N.Y.2d 759; People v Greenberg, 187 A.D.2d 528; People v Auxilly, 173 A.D.2d 627). The hearing court properly denied suppression of a handgun found in open view (see, People v Wilson, 191 A.D.2d 528; People v Reilly, 155 A.D.2d 961), and also two other handguns removed from a bag that the defendant was clutching when the police lawfully placed him under arrest (see, People v Johnson, 154 A.D.2d 395; People v Castro, 130 A.D.2d 501; People v Brown, 184 A.D.2d 647).
We have reviewed the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit (see, People v Mitchell, 39 N.Y.2d 173, cert denied 426 U.S. 953; People v Wilson, supra; People v Cornielle, 172 A.D.2d 681). Thompson, J.P., Rosenblatt, Miller and Ritter, JJ., concur.
