Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Nov 15, 1985
115 A.D.2d 275 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

November 15, 1985

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Monroe County, Pine, J.

Present — Dillon, P.J., Hancock, Jr., Doerr, Green and Schnepp, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The information furnished to the police by an identified citizen gave rise at least to a reasonable suspicion that defendant was armed and involved in criminal activity, authorizing a frisk for weapons (CPL 140.50) encompassing a limited search of her handbag (People v Moore, 32 N.Y.2d 67, cert. denied 414 U.S. 1011). The District Attorney was not disqualified from prosecuting the indictment merely because defendant was a complainant in an unrelated felony prosecution pending in the Monroe County District Attorney's office.
