P. v. Armitage CA3
Defendant Jesse Brewer Armitage was detained after he fled from approaching police officers investigating a possible purse-snatching. A search of his pockets uncovered a cell phone tying him to a burglary from the day before. In the criminal proceeding that followed, defendant filed a motion to suppress the cell phone evidence, arguing his detention was unlawful and the evidence flowing therefrom was, therefore, inadmissible. The trial court denied the motion and a jury later found defendant guilty of first degree robbery, first degree residential burglary, and obstructing a peace officer, a misdemeanor.
