Opinion

No. 75-2239.

April 30, 1976.

Interlocutory appeal from Circuit Court, Broward County; W. Herbert Moriarty, Judge.

Philip S. Shailer, State's Atty., and Jon H. Gutmacher, Asst. State's Atty., Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and James R. Bean, III, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

After carefully reviewing the briefs, record and testimony from the suppression hearing, we hold that the trial court erred in granting defendant's motion to suppress, as the police officer had reasonable grounds to believe defendant was committing a crime, Fla. Stat. § 901.151 (1975); Thomas v. State, 250 So.2d 15 (Fla.App. 1st 1971).

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

WALDEN, C.J., and CROSS and MAGER, JJ., concur.
