Opinion
November 19, 1998
Appeal from the Family Court, Bronx County (Bruce Kaplan, J.).
Appellant's suppression motion was properly denied. There was probable cause for appellant's arrest where an undercover officer radioed a detailed description of appellant shortly after purchasing two glassines of heroin from him, whereupon the backup team responded to the location within one minute and observed appellant, who matched the description and was the only person wearing both the distinctive hat and sweater shirt described.
