Initial Detention at Gun-Point Was Not an Illegal Arrest

The Third Department determined that the initial detention of the defendant by the police, with guns drawn, did not amount to an illegal arrest:

Given the extremely short period of time between the report of the armed robbery and the arrival of the officers on the scene, defendant’s presence alongside the residence and the absence of any other individual in the vicinity, the officers were justified in forcibly detaining defendant in order to quickly confirm or dispel their reasonable suspicion of defendant’s possible involvement in the armed robbery… . Furthermore, defendant was informed that he was being detained, was not questioned during that period of time and was held at the crime scene in order to effectuate showups by the victims of the robbery… . People v Stroman, 103148, 3rd Dept, 6-6-13
