1Opinion of the CourtJustice Reinhard

Defendant, Roderick Graves, was charged by information in the circuit court of Du Page County with one count of unlawful possession of less than 15 grams of a substance containing cocaine (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1987, ch. 561/2, par. 1402(b)). Following a hearing, the trial court granted defendant’s motion to quash his arrest and suppress evidence. The State appeals pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 604(a) (107 Ill. 2d R. 604(a)).

The only issue on appeal is whether the trial court’s decision to quash defendant’s arrest and suppress the evidence was erroneous.
