Excerpt from Illinois Appellate Court Unpublished Opinions, Vol. 124: Second Series Notwithstanding the State's statement in its brief that the arresting officer actually saw betting slips and currency passing between the defendant and another unknown man, the officer did not so testify. He stated that he saw the unknown man hand Martin a piece of paper and some currency and that such observation was made from a distance of 50 feet. It is a misstatement to equate Officer Riggio's testimony with the assertion contained in the State's brief. The officer dis covered that the papers were betting slips only after he had arrested and searched the defendant. The arrest and subse quent search were unlawful since there was no probable cause present to justify the arrest.
