Supreme Court of Kansas
State v. Goodro
April 1, 2022506 P.3d 918
Summary
The court held that the officer lawfully arrested Goodro for misdemeanor theft because the totality of the circumstances provided probable cause to believe she would not later be apprehended unless immediately arrested. The circumstances included her use of an inaccurate name, lack of identification, residence in another city and county, transportation limitations, and prior failure to appear. The court therefore affirmed the denial of suppression and both lower-court judgments.
