COMMONWEALTH v. CHOWN

No. 07-P-1760.

76 Mass. App. Ct. 684 (2010)

COMMONWEALTH v. KRISTIAN A. CHOWN.

Appeals Court of Massachusetts, Barnstable.

April 29, 2010.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Julia K. Holler, Assistant District Attorney, for the Commonwealth.

Robert A. George for the defendant.

Present: KANTROWITZ, MILLS, & TRAINOR, JJ.

KANTROWITZ, J.

As a police officer reasonably believed that the defendant was a resident of Massachusetts and needed a Massachusetts driver's license to drive here, probable cause to arrest for a violation of operating a motor vehicle without a license existed. See G. L. c. 90, §§ 10, 21. The stop being valid, drugs, money, and other evidence were appropriately seized. As such, we reverse the allowance of the defendant's motion to suppress.
