Commonwealth v. Brown

Superior Court of Pennsylvania

Decided April 12, 1982No. 1588 and 1688PublishedCited by 17 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

WIEAND, Judge:

Jerry Lee Banks and Walter Brown were tried non-jury, convicted, and sentenced for robbery, 1 burglary, 2 and conspiracy to commit a criminal act. 3 Their separate appeals have been consolidated because they raise the same principal issue. That issue is whether evidence obtained by police following appellants’ arrests should have been suppressed because Williamsport police officers made the arrests outside the limits of the City of Williamsport. We conclude that the arrests were proper and, finding no merit in appellants’ remaining arguments, affirm the judgments of sentence.
