Holding that a warrantless arrest meets the probable cause requirement where a "reasonable and prudent man, having the knowledge possessed by the officer at the time of the arrest, would believe the defendant committed the offense"
Finding that defendant's arrest was without probable cause, the appellate court held that all evidence obtained as a result of the arrest must be suppressed. ( 114 Ill. App.3d 214, 216.) We allowed the State's petition for leave to appeal, which was filed pursuant to Supreme Court Rules 315(a) and 612(b).
