Wisconsin Supreme Court

State, Respondent v. Paszek, Appellant

March 30, 197150 Wis. 2d 619

Summary

The court held that the warrantless arrest was supported by probable cause because a citizen witness personally observed the defendant offer marijuana for sale, described him and the incident, and independently corroborated the details when he returned. The resulting search was lawful as incident to the valid arrest, so the marijuana was properly admitted and the judgment was affirmed.
