How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding probable cause based on purported eyewitness testimony “who it seem[ed] reasonable to believe [wa]s telling the truth”
• finding of probable cause upheld when police saw a man matching a broadcast description of the suspect less than four blocks from the scene of the crime, five minutes after the crime was committed
• in view of the strength of the inference raised by testimony in the record, absence of direct proof is not ground for reversal
• “[tjhere is no requirement that the arresting officer 'have sufficient firsthand knowledge to constitute probable cause. It is enough that the police officer initiating the chain of communication” has information' that amounts to probable cause.
