Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Arrests
Defendant was convicted, after stipulated bench trial, of possession of controlled substance. Defendant was arrested after officer observed him walking in middle of public road, and cocaine found in his sock when Defendant was searched at police station. Illinois does not prohibit arrests for petty offenses, and thus court properly denied motion to quash and suppress. Court must conduct hearing as to Defendant's financial resources before ordering him to reimburse public defender for services. (BOWMAN and BIRKETT, concurring.)
