US SUPREME COURT DECISIONS

Where police officers had probable cause to search respondent's automobile at the scene immediately after arresting him for attempting to pass fraudulent checks at a bank drive-in window, such probable cause still obtained shortly thereafter at the station house to which the automobile had been taken so that the officers could constitutionally search the automobile there without a warrant, Chambers v. Maroney, 399 U. S. 42; hence, incriminating checks seized during the search were admissible in evidence at respondent's trial.

Certiorari granted; 521 S.W.2d 255, reversed and remanded.
