Order affirmed.
Mr. JUSTICE HEIPLE delivered the opinion of the court:
The State appeals from the order of the Circuit Court of Kankakee County which suppressed evidence seized. The issue presented is whether a warrantless search of the defendant's (Ralph Lafayette) shoulder bag, made during booking procedures following a valid custodial arrest, was unreasonable and, thus violated the defendant's fourth and fourteenth amendment rights.
