P. v. Verdin CA4/3
Armando Verdin pleaded no contest to possession of cocaine base while armed with a loaded firearm (Health & Saf. Code, § 11370.1) and possession of cocaine base for sale (Health & Saf. Code, § 11351.5). Verdin and codefendant Vanessa Cerda filed a suppression motion claiming the officers relied on illegally obtained information to support issuance of a search warrant and asked the trial court to traverse and quash the warrant. The court denied the motion to traverse and quash the warrant, but declined to rule on whether Verdin had been illegally detained and arrested. We issued an alternative writ directing the trial court to hold an evidentiary hearing on Verdin and Cerda’s suppression motion.
