Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit
Decided December 7, 1990No. 90-8012PublishedCited by 45 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
BRORBY, Circuit Judge.
The United States (the Government) appeals the grant of a motion to suppress evidence. The motion was granted following the trial court’s determination that defendant Patrick Lynn Maher’s (Maher, or appellee) written consent to search was tainted by his illegal detention. Because we find that the police had probable cause to arrest the defendant, the grant of the motion to suppress is reversed.
