PEOPLE v. HAMILTON

Docket No. 118615.

638 N.W.2d 92 (2002)

465 Mich. 526

PEOPLE of the State of Michigan, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Donald Andrew HAMILTON, Defendant-Appellee.

Supreme Court of Michigan.

January 23, 2002.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jennifer M. Granholm, Attorney General, Thomas L. Casey, Solicitor General, David L. Morse, Prosecuting Attorney, and William J. Vailliencourt, Jr., Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, Howell, MI, for the people.

Raymond W. Szmagaj II, Union Lake, MI, for the defendant-appellee.


PER CURIAM.

The circuit court dismissed a drunk driving charge against the defendant because the arrest was made by a police officer acting outside his jurisdiction. The Court of Appeals affirmed. We conclude that the fact that the arrest was made by an officer outside his jurisdiction does not require exclusion of the evidence obtained as a result of the arrest or dismissal of the charge. We reverse and remand to the circuit court for further proceedings.
