Question:

The police had probable cause to believe that a certain recent burglary had been carried out by Sam Trout, who lived at a known address. The police considered obtaining a warrant for Trout's arrest. Before a warrant was ob- tained, Officer Simon saw Trout walking down the street. Simon approached Trout and arrested him for robbery. Simon searched Trout incident to the arrest and found some uncut diamonds (from the robbery). At Trout's trial, he tried to suppress the uncut diamonds claiming that they were the fruit of a warrantless arrest. Should Trout's suppression motion be granted (that is, was the arrest illegal)?
