Decided August 21, 1986.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Albert J. Ahern, Jr., Bailey's Crossroads, Va. (Louis Koutoulakos, Varoutsos & Koutoulakos, Arlington, Va., on brief), for appellant.

Kenneth E. Melson, Asst. U.S. Atty., Arlington, Va. (Justin W. Williams, U.S. Atty., Alexandria, Va., on brief), for appellee.

Before WINTER, Chief Judge, and RUSSELL and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges.


HARRISON L. WINTER, Chief Judge.

Edward R. Lehmann appeals his conviction for possession of cocaine with intent to distribute in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841, contending that the cocaine found on his person was unconstitutionally seized. Because we conclude that the law enforcement authorities had probable cause to arrest Lehmann so that the search of his person and seizure of the drug were incidents of a valid arrest, we affirm.
