One Pierrepont Plaza, 16th Floor
Brooklyn, NY 11201 BLOCK, Senior District Judge :

Defendant Belton Brabham has moved to suppress the firearm that was found on his person by Detective James Harkins, as well as statements that Brabham made to law enforcement following his arrest, because they are the fruits of an illegal search and seizure.

A hearing was held on Mr. Brabham's suppression motion on March 14, 2019. At the hearing, the government presented testimony from Detective Harkins. The Court finds Detective Harkins' testimony credible and concludes that he had probable cause to arrest Mr. Brabham.

Brabham's motion to suppress is, therefore, denied.

SO ORDERED.
