Description
The defendant pleaded guilty after his motion to suppress alleged illegally obtained evidence and an inculpatory statement made by himself had been denied. At the hearing, the arresting officer testified that he was informed by a lieutenant from the Criminal Investigation Bureau that an anonymous phone call had been received informing the lieutenant that a described man named Bernie Horowitz was then shaping up for work at the mail room of the New York Times Building and had in his possession a brown paper bag containing stolen United States savings bonds and pornographic literature; that he found the defendant at the mail room of the Times Building, identified himself as a police officer, asked the defendant his name and obtained a brown paper bag which the defendant carried containing United States savings bonds in the name of Anthony Cardone which were later identified as having been stolen. The Appellate Division held that the arresting officer would have been derelict in his duty if he had not pursued the information given him and that he had reasonable grounds to believe that he had these stolen bonds in his possession. Two dissenting Justices at the Appellate Division considered that there was lack of probable cause for the search and seizure and the arrest.
