Massachusetts Appeals Court October 30, 1981 (Commonwealth v. Alabarces)

The defendant appeals from his conviction on an indictment charging him with intent to distribute heroin in violation of G. L. c. 94C, § 32. A suppres*959sion motion, claiming that the warrantless search was illegal because the arrest was not based on probable cause, was heard and denied. That denial is the main issue before us on appeal.
