People v. Thomas

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Mar 23, 1995
213 A.D.2d 295 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

March 23, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Harold Rothwax, J.).


The police properly detained defendant two blocks away from complainant's apartment, and within minutes of the crime, based upon a sufficiently detailed description of the burglar previously broadcast over the police radio. The victim was transported to where defendant was being detained and identified him. (See, People v. Hicks, 68 N.Y.2d 234.) Accordingly, defendant's motion to suppress identification testimony was properly denied (see, People v. Perkins, 174 A.D.2d 433, lv denied 78 N.Y.2d 972).

We have reviewed appellant's other contentions and find them to be without merit.

Concur — Rosenberger, J.P., Wallach, Kupferman, Asch and Tom, JJ.
