Opinion
Memorandum. The evidence needed to establish probable cause to justify an arrest does not have to be such as to warrant a conviction (Adams v Williams, 407 US 143, 149). In our view there was sufficient evidence for the trial court to find that the officer had probable cause to believe that the defendant committed a crime (see, e.g., People v Oden, 36 NY2d 382) and therefore the arrest was a proper one. The search incident to that arrest was authorized (People v Perel, 34 NY2d 462).
Chief Judge Breitel and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler, Fuchsberg and Cooke concur.
Order affirmed in a memorandum.
