Supreme Court of New Jersey
State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent and Cross-Appellant v. Daniel Twian Brown, Defendant-Appellant and…
January 25, 2011205 N.J. 133
Summary
The Court held that the warrantless arrest of Daniel Brown was lawful because the police had probable cause and the arrest occurred in a public place after his flight, rendering the arrest consistent with Fourth Amendment requirements. Accordingly, Brown's post‑arrest statements were admissible, his Miranda waiver was found voluntary, and the trial court's denial of suppression was affirmed. The judgment of the Appellate Division was affirmed in part and the case was remanded for resentencing.
