THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. NEGRO SANTO, Appellant.

The hearing court properly determined that there was probable cause to arrest defendant, in light of the police officer's testimony that he was experienced in narcotics investigations, that he observed defendant in a narcotics-prone area holding a large clear bag of cocaine, and that defendant attempted to flee upon seeing the officer ( People v. McRay, 51 N.Y.2d 594). We see no reason to disturb the hearing court's credibility determinations, which are supported by the record.

Defendant's guilty plea forecloses review of his remaining claims.

Concur — Milonas, J.P., Rubin, Mazzarelli and Andrias, JJ.
