Ninth Circuit

United States v. Geraldine Hubbard

435 F.2d 1311

Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit·Decided January 15, 1971·No. 26054_1·Published

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The judgment of conviction is affirmed.

The main question is: Did the arresting officer have probable cause to make an arrest for a narcotics offense which arrest was followed by a search of Hubbard’s pocketbook? The product of the search clinched the case.

If the officer was believed (and he evidently was), there was probable cause. One might question his story, but we cannot say it was inherently improbable.
