    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Carol Miner, Appellant.
    Argued June 6, 1977;
    decided June 30, 1977
    
      
      Matthew Muraskin and James J. McDonough for appellant.
    
      Denis Dillon, District Attorney (Steven R. Bernhard, William C. Donnino and Philip L. Tomich of counsel), for respondent.
   Memorandum. The evidence needed to establish probable cause to justify an arrest does not have to be such as to warrant a conviction (Adams v Williams, 407 US 143, 149). In our view there was sufficient evidence for the trial court to find that the officer had probable cause to believe that the defendant committed a crime (see, e.g., People v Oden, 36 NY2d 382) and therefore the arrest was a proper one. The search incident to that arrest was authorized (People v Perel, 34 NY2d 462).

Chief Judge Breitel and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler, Fuchsberg and Cooke concur.

Order affirmed in a memorandum.
