Pp vs. Zaspa

Facts: On April 29, 1994, Zaspa and a companion were caught by the policemen carrying dried marijuana leaves inside a bag. They were arrested thereafter without a warrant and brought to the police station for investigation. Issue: W/N the warrantless arrest is valid?

Held: Yes. Sec. 5, Rule 113 of the Rules of Court authorizes an arrest without a warrant when the person to be arrested has committed a crime, is actually committing or about to commit a crime in the presence of the police officers. As the appellants were found to be in possession of the prohibited drug at the time of their arrest, the same is admissible in evidence.
