People v. Ricketts

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 2, 1998
255 A.D.2d 341 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

November 2, 1998

Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Kowtna, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The police possessed probable cause to arrest the defendant, since the defendant was present at the scene of the crime and an informant at the scene pointed toward the defendant and one of the codefendants and stated "that's them". Immediately after this statement the codefendant began running away. The defendant began walking at a quickened pace and was seen attempting to discard a gun ( see, People v. Hicks, 68 N.Y.2d 234, 239; People v. Bigelow, 66 N.Y.2d 417, 423; People v. Carrasquillo, 54 N.Y.2d 248, 254).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.

O'Brien, J. P., Joy, Friedmann and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
