State v. Amstutz

Docket number
47695
Date

Ruled that defendant’s warrantless arrest violated search and seizure clause because, based on information the officer knew at the time of arrest, it was for a completed misdemeanor that occurred outside the officer’s presence, and fact that the officer had information at his disposal in a state-created document that would have given him probable cause to conclude the offense was a felony, or that another officer at dispatch reviewed the document, was not sufficient without the arresting officer’s personal awareness to create such probable cause
