Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Probable Cause
Defendant was arrested inside gas station for unlawful possession of cocaine with intent to deliver, after police learned of specific agreement between informant and Defendant for delivery of 5 ounces of cocaine at a specific location. When Defendant arrived at the prearranged location, there was probable cause to arrest him. Vehicle was close by and cocaine was in plain view in vehicle. Police were aware of facts sufficient to lead a reasonably cautious person to believe that Defendant had committed a crime.(BIRKETT and ZENOFF, concurring.)
