People v. Lumpp

Thomas J. Lumpp, defendant, was charged with the operation of an overweight vehicle. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1975, ch. 95/2, par. 15 — Ill.) The State appeals from an order of the circuit court of Cook County which sustained defendant’s pretrial motion to suppress evidence. Ill. Rev. Stat. 1975, ch. 110A, par. 604(a)(1).

We reverse and remand.

We are aware that defendant has filed no appearance or brief as appellee. The record is short and the issue presented is simple. We will therefore determine the merits of the case. See First Capitol Mortgage Corp. v. Talandis Construction Corp. (1976), 63 Ill.…
