Appeal from the Judgment of Sentence Entered February 7, 2020

In the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County Criminal Division at

No(s): CP-51-CR-0008949-2018

BEFORE: BOWES, J., LAZARUS, J., and McLAUGHLIN, J.

MEMORANDUM BY LAZARUS, J.: FILED MAY 4, 2021

Erik Patterson appeals from the judgment of sentence, entered in the

Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, following his conviction by a jury

of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.1 After careful review, we

affirm.

The trial court set forth the relevant facts of the case as follows:

On the afternoon of October 31, 2018, Officer Anthony Hurley[, an

eleven-year veteran of the Philadelphia police force,] received a

radio call that there was an individual wearing a black jacket and

blue pants with a gun in the area of a drug treatment facility on 2558

North Front Street in Philadelphia. When Officer Hurley arrived on

[the] scene, a security guard and two other individuals were pointing

at [Patterson], who was walking nearby on Huntingdon Street, and

informed Officer Hurley that [Patterson] had pointed his gun at the

security guard. Officer Hurley approached [Patterson], who was

wearing a black jacket and blue pants, in his police vehicle and asked

[Patterson] to come over to his vehicle. [Patterson] complied[,] and

Officer Hurley patted [Patterson] down in order to determine

whether [he] had a gun on his person. Office Hurley asked

____________________________________________

J-S05028-21

[Patterson] what had happened, to which [Patterson] responded

that he had gotten into an argument with the security guard because

the drug treatment facility had refused to give him treatment.

Officer Hurley then placed [Patterson] in the backseat of the police

vehicle so that he could go to speak with the witnesses. Before

leaving to speak with the witnesses, however, Officer Hurley noticed

[Patterson] fidgeting in the back seat of the vehicle. Officer Hurley

then opened the door to the police vehicle and observed [Patterson]

attempting to hide a gun magazine under the back seat. Officer

Hurley recovered the magazine, which contained seven live rounds

of .9mm bullets, and then handcuffed [Patterson]. Subsequently,

Officer Hurley noticed a firearm holster on the sidewalk

approximately 15 to 20 feet from where Officer Hurley had originally

stopped [Patterson]. Officer Hurley also discovered a loaded firearm

on top of a box in a trashcan approximately 5 feet from where the

firearm holster was recovered. The ammunition in the magazine fit

and functioned in the gun that was recovered. Thereafter,

[Patterson], who had previously committed an enumerated felony

that prohibited him from possessing a firearm, was placed under

arrest.

Trial Court Opinion, 8/7/20, at 2-3 (citations to notes of testimony omitted).

Patterson was charged with three violations of the Uniform Firearms Act

(VUFA), 18 Pa.C.S.A. §§ 6105, 6106, and 6108. Prior to trial, Patterson filed a

motion seeking to suppress physical evidence uncovered from the stop on the

following grounds: he was searched and arrested without probable cause; he

was subjected to a stop and frisk on less than reasonable suspicion; and he was

searched and arrested without a warrant. Omnibus Motion, 1/30/19, at 1. After

a hearing before the Honorable Charles Ehrlich on May 31, 2019, the court

denied the suppression motion.

Subsequently, on June 13, 2019, Patterson filed a motion in limine seeking

to exclude “all out-of-court statements [including any reference to a 911 call for

a person with a gun], descriptions [of his appearance, clothing, and direction of

-2-

J-S05028-21

travel from the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD)], and identifications . . .

including pointing [motions] made by unidentified individuals outside 2558 N.

Front Street.” Motion In Limine, 6/13/19, at 1-2.2 Prior to trial, the court heard

argument on Patterson’s motion in limine, after which the court denied the

motion, concluding that the evidence was admissible pursuant to the present

sense impression exception to the rule against hearsay. N.T. Motion In Limine

Hearing/Jury Trial, 8/20/19, at 17-18, 21-22.

Following a two-day trial in August 2019, before the Honorable Glenn B.

Bronson,3 a jury convicted Patterson of the above-stated VUFA offense.4 On

February 7, 2020, the court sentenced Patterson to 10-20 years’ incarceration.5

Patterson filed a post-sentence motion, which the court denied on June 9, 2020.

Patterson then filed a timely notice of appeal and court-ordered Pa.R.A.P.

1925(b) concise statement of errors complained of on appeal. He presents the

following issues for our consideration:

____________________________________________

2 On May 8, 2019, Patterson also filed a motion in limine seeking to exclude “any

reference at trial to a ‘black ski mask.’” Motion In Limine, 5/8/19. On August

19, 2019, the court granted that motion. Order, 8/19/19.

3 For reasons unknown to this Court, the case was transferred from Judge Ehrlich

to Judge Bronson for trial.

4 The Commonwealth nolle prossed the section 6106 and 6108 charges and

proceeded to trial only on the section 6105 offense.

5 Patterson was also held in contempt of court for his threatening behavior

towards the trial judge during his sentencing hearing. He was sentenced to a

term of 3-6 months’ incarceration for contempt. He has not appealed from that

sentence.

-3-

J-S05028-21

(1) Did not the court err by failing to suppress evidence for each

of the following reasons:

(a) Where the officer arrived on the scene in a marked

patrol car with lights and siren activated, then

pursued [Patterson] down the street in his car, exited

his car with gun drawn, told [Patterson] to approach

the car, frisked [Patterson] on the hood of the car and

then questioned [him], was not [Patterson]

questioned while in custody without being given his

Miranda[6] warnings, and should not [Patterson’s]

statements have been suppressed, and

(b) Where [Patterson] was then placed in the back of a

police car which could not be opened from the inside,

was not [Patterson] under arrest in the absence of

probable cause, and was not the gun clip

subsequently obtained from the back of the police car

the product of that illegal arrest and/or the product

of forced abandonment due to that illegal arrest, and

should not that evidence have been suppressed?

(2) Did not the court err by allowing hearsay statements from

persons on the scene (to wit, that [Patterson] had a gun and

that [Patterson] pointed the gun at the security guard) to be

presented at trial during the testimony of the officer for each

of the following reasons:

(a) Where the Commonwealth established no exception for

the hearsay, was not the admission of this hearsay

improper, and

(b) Even if a portion of this hearsay was otherwise

admissible, was not the statement that [Patterson]

pointed the gun at the security guard more prejudicial

than probative pursuant to Pa.R.E. 403, under the

circumstances of the case and the sole charge at issue

at trial, and did not the court err by not excluding this

portion of the hearsay statements at trial?

J-S05028-21

Appellant’s Brief, at 4-5.7

In his first issue, Patterson argues that Officer Hurley frisked and

questioned him on the street without first giving him his Miranda warnings.

Moreover, Patterson claims that when he was placed in the back of a police

cruiser, he was effectively “under arrest in the absence of probable cause” and

any evidence recovered from the police car should have been suppressed

because it “was the product of an illegal arrest and/or the product of forced

abandonment due to that illegal arrest.” Appellant’s Brief, at 24.

Our standard of review on appeal of the denial of a motion to suppress is

to determine whether the certified record supports the suppression court’s

factual findings and the legitimacy of the inferences and legal conclusions drawn

from those findings. Commonwealth v. Gould, 187 A.3d 927, 934 (Pa. Super.

2018). It is well-established that “[i]n making this determination, we are to

consider only evidence of the prosecution’s witnesses and so much of the

evidence for the defense as, fairly read in the context of the record as a whole,

remains uncontradicted.” Commonwealth v. Goodwin, 333 A.2d 892, 895

(Pa. 1975). If the record supports the factual findings of the suppression court,

we will reverse only if there is an error in the legal conclusions drawn from those

____________________________________________

7 In his post-sentence motion to reconsider his sentence, Patterson argued that

mitigating evidence militated in favor of reducing his sentence. See Post-

Sentence Motion to Reconsider Sentence, 2/18/20. While Patterson did not raise

either of his appellate issues in his post-sentence motion, it is well-established

that “any issue raised before or during trial is deemed preserved for appeal

whether or not the defendant chooses to raise the issue in a post-sentence

motion.” See Pa.R.Crim.P. 720, Comment.

J-S05028-21

factual findings. Gould, supra at 934. Finally, the scope of review for a

suppression issue is limited to the record available to the suppression court. In

re L.J., 79 A.3d 1073, 1089 (Pa. 2013).

At the suppression hearing, Officer Hurley testified that it was standard

police protocol to arrive on the scene of a “Person with gun, priority 1” call with

lights and sirens activated. N.T. Suppression Hearing, 5/31/19, at 9. Moreover,

Officer Hurley testified, and the trial court found as a fact, that when he arrived

on the scene, within two minutes of the radio call, witnesses told the officer that

Patterson had just pointed a gun at a security guard. Id. at 6, 23, 42-43. In

addition, Officer Hurley testified that when he looked in the direction that the

witnesses had pointed, he noticed Patterson fit the physical description of the

individual described in the CAD. Id. at 21-23. At that point, where Officer

Hurley believed Patterson had just pointed a gun at someone, he had reasonable

suspicion to conduct an investigatory detention, stop Patterson with his gun

drawn, and briefly pat him down. See Commonwealth v. Dix, 207 A.3d 383,

388 (Pa. Super. 2019) (police had reasonable suspicion to stop and perform brief

pat-down search of defendant, with guns drawn, where officers observed suspect

fitting description from tip when they arrived at location).

Patterson claims that after Officer Hurley frisked him on the hood of the

car and then questioned him, he was subjected to a custodial interrogation

-6-

J-S05028-21

without first being given his Miranda8 warnings, and, thus, his statements

should have been suppressed. We disagree.

A custodial interrogation occurs when there is a “questioning initiated by

the police after a person has been taken into custody or otherwise deprived of

his or her freedom of action in any significant way.” Commonwealth v.

Clinton, 905 A.2d 1026, 1032 (Pa. Super. 2006) (citations and emphasis

omitted). “There are two separate requirements, custody and interrogation, that

have to be found in order for Miranda to apply.” Commonwealth v.

Whitehead, 629 A.2d 142, 144 (Pa. Super. 1993). Additionally, in order to

determine whether the detention is investigative or custodial, a court considers

a variety of factors, including: (1) the basis for detention; (2) the duration of

detention; (3) the location of detention (public or private); (4) whether the

suspect was transported against his will (how far, why); (5) the method of

detention; (6) any show, threat or use of force; and (6) the investigative

methods used to confirm or dispel suspicions. Commonwealth v. Smith, 172

A.3d 26, 32 (Pa. Super. 2017) (citation omitted).

Here, Officer Hurley testified that when he stopped Patterson and asked

him to approach his vehicle, “[he] asked him if he had a gun” before patting him

down for the officer’s safety and then “[s]tarted talking to him [about] what

happened over there briefly.” N.T. Suppression Hearing, 5/31/19, at 10; Id. at

11-12 (“I just asked him what’s going on, why am I getting called here, etcetera.

J-S05028-21

As far as, like, what’s your side for the story.”). This initial inquiry was

permissible and did not require Miranda warnings. See Commonwealth v.

Kondash, 808 A.2d 943 (Pa. Super. 2002) (dictates of Miranda, even during

custodial interrogations, do not attach where police have reason to fear for their

well-being and ask questions to ensure their safety and not to elicit incriminating

responses); see also Miranda, supra at 477-78 (general on-the-scene

questioning as to facts surrounding crime or other general questioning in fact-

finding process does not present compelling atmosphere inherent in custodial

interrogation setting); Commonwealth v. Kloch, 327 A.3d 375, 380 (Pa.

Super. 1974) (same). Additionally, Officer Hurley had his gun holstered when

he asked Patterson these questions, he exhibited no threat of force towards

Patterson, Patterson was not restrained by the officer in any way, and the

questioning occurred in public during daylight. Smith, supra. Thus, we

conclude that, under a totality of the circumstances, Officer Hurley’s initial

questioning of Patterson in the present case was not a “custodial interrogation”

such that the officer was required to first administer Patterson his Miranda

warnings. Clinton, supra.

Next, we do not find that when Officer Hurley placed Patterson in his police

cruiser that the investigative detention transformed into a custodial arrest, and

thus, required the suppression of all evidence seized thereafter.9

____________________________________________

9We find that the trial court credited the officer’s statement, that upon his arrival

at the scene, witnesses told him that Patterson had pointed a gun at the security

guard. Thus, under the facts of this case, we are not presented with an illegal

(Footnote Continued Next Page)

-8-

J-S05028-21

In Commonwealth v. White, 516 A.2d 1211 (Pa. Super. 1986), our

Court held that defendants who were placed in a police cruiser for a short time,

pending investigation of a suspected robbery, were not arrested. Where the

defendants were detained at the scene of the initial encounter, were not

transported anywhere, and less than five minutes elapsed between the

defendants being placed in the police car and being told to exit, the defendants’

brief detention in police car was reasonable and did not “transform[] an

otherwise proper investigative detention into an illegal arrest.” Id. at 1217.

We find this case on all fours with White. Officer Hurley placed Patterson

in his cruiser for a brief period of time in order to investigate the matter further,

the encounter took place on a public street in the middle of the afternoon,

Patterson was not transported anywhere, the detention took place at the scene

of the initial encounter, and Patterson was not physically restrained or formally

placed under arrest. Under these circumstances, where Officer Hurley wished

to ensure his and any other officers’ safety while they continued to investigate

the CAD and statements by on-the-scene witnesses that Patterson possessed a

gun and pointed it at a security guard, we cannot say that Officer Hurley’s actions

were unreasonable. Cf. Commonwealth v. Turner, 772 A.2d 970, 972 (Pa.

____________________________________________

detention. Cf. Commonwealth v. Hicks, 208 A.3d 916, 951 (Pa. 2019) (where

officer clarified on cross-examination that information he was provided did not

suggest defendant “had ‘pointed’ [] handgun at anyone, or that he was

‘threatening somebody with it,’ but, instead, that ‘just somebody was holding a

gun, along that nature,” considering totality of circumstances, facts did “not

support finding of reasonable, articulable suspicion that [defendant] was

engaged in any manner of criminal activity”).

-9-

J-S05028-21

Super. 2001) (en banc) (where inebriated defendant was placed involuntarily in

police car and subsequently asked incriminating questions without being given

Miranda warnings, Court concluded defendant could not be questioned without

first being given Miranda warnings because “the combination of uniformed

police officers placing a suspect in a police car for an unknown amount of time

and subsequently asking him potentially incriminating questions rises to the level

of a custodial interrogation”).10 Thus, because Patterson was the subject of an

investigative detention while he was inside the police cruiser, the gun magazine

discovered at his feet in the car was not the product of an “illegal arrest/or the

product of forced abandonment due to an illegal arrest,” Appellant’s Brief, at 4,

and suppression was not warranted. See Commonwealth v. Jones, 378 A.2d

835 (Pa. 1977) (“While we do not approve of the use of excessive restraints

upon a person subjected to investigative detentions, we note that every Terry

stop involves both a stop and a period of detention during which the suspect is

not free to leave but is subject to the control of the police officer.”).

In his final issue on appeal, Patterson contends that the trial court

improperly permitted Officer Hurley to testify regarding the “statements from

persons on the scene (to wit, that [Patterson] had a gun and that [he had]

____________________________________________

10 Although Officer Hurley did not specify how many minutes, in toto, Patterson

remained inside the police car, based on the fact that the officer returned to the

vehicle soon after placing Patterson in the car, noticing a gun holster on the

sidewalk near the car, and Patterson moving “furtively” in the car, we deduce

that he was in the vehicle for mere minutes. N.T. Suppression Hearing, 5/31/19,

at 11; see also id. at 45-46 (trial judge finding that Patterson “had been

stopped briefly, as part of investigation”) (emphasis added).

J-S05028-21

pointed the gun at the security guard)” where those statements were

inadmissible hearsay that do not fit within any hearsay exception, and where its

admission was more prejudicial than probative. Appellant’s Brief, at 35.

Specifically, Patterson complains that the Commonwealth failed to provide

“independent corroborating evidence that the [witnesses] actually perceived the

event.” Pa.R.E. 803(1).

Instantly, the trial court permitted Officer Hurley to testify about the

witnesses’ statements pursuant to the present sense impression exception to

the rule against hearsay. At the motion in limine hearing, the court noted the

following:

You see somebody who just pointed a gun at someone who’s about

to run into the community, that’s not testimonial to say [“]that’s

him.[”] That’s not there to make a criminal case, that’s to protect

the public. And I think it would be extraordinary for a [c]ourt to find

something different under the circumstances. So if it happened

immediately after he’s still observable and they say to the police,

[“]That’s him,[”] do you have a case where that was done and they

said that that was not admissible? Where on the scene people are

pointing and saying, [“]That’s him.[”] Because I want to look at it.

I will. I’ll always look at the law. I don’t want to make a mistake.

But this does not sound like testimonial to me, so I don’t see a

Crawford[11] issue. It does sound like a present sense impression.

____________________________________________

11 Crawford v. Washington, 541 U.S. 36 (2004) (when prosecution seeks to

introduce “testimonial” out-of-court statement into evidence against criminal

defendant, Confrontation Clause of Sixth Amendment requires: (1) witness who

made statement is unavailable; and (2) defendant had prior opportunity to

cross-examine witness). Although Patterson raised a Crawford claim during his

argument on his motion in limine, Patterson has neither included it in his Rule

1925(b) statement nor argued it in his brief. N.T. Motion In Limine/Jury Trial,

8/20/19, at 16-17 (arguing that witnesses’ statements evolved from non-

testimonial to testimonial once threat to security guard had ceased). Thus, this

issue is abandoned for purposes of appellate review. See Pa.R.A.P.

1925(b)(3)(iv).

- 11 -

J-S05028-21

They’re describing within moments something that they saw. That’s

the guy that just pointed a gun. Right? That’s what they would say,

that’s the man who pointed a gun?

* * *

I think it’s clearly a present sense impression. I don’t see a

Crawford issue. If your motion in limine is to exclude it, it’s denied.

I’m going to let it in. I’m going to let in what they said, because

they’re describing what they saw. That’s the guy I saw pointing the

gun; that’s the present sense impression.

I mean, like I said, if you have a case that says that’s not so, but

I’m familiar with the cases that you’re discussing. And this is not

like a 911 call. This is an observable person on the scene. Maybe

they didn’t get the name, but it’s not like an anonymous person. It’s

somebody that you know is on the scene. When you get a phone

call, it could be because the person in the house said to you, I just

looked out the window and saw this, so you’re giving complete

hearsay.

But this is inherently more reliable when you have somebody who’s

on the scene [in] the presence of the person who allegedly had the

gun. It’s much more reliable circumstances. The timing is such that,

you know, present sense impression, we’ve had them go out to a lot

longer period of time and that’s somebody describing what they just

saw. It seems to be multiple corroboration [sic], including the fact

that there are people who are[—]more than one person is saying it

and that the person is in their presence right there and then it

happened right afterwards.

And I can’t imagine that this would be considered to be testimonial

when somebody is making off with a gun into the community, and

it’s exactly what the [c]ourts have said is not considered to be

testimonial. It’s the police responding to an emergency. It’s

different than the cases that you’re quoting. So that’s my ruling.

N.T. Motion In Limine/Jury Trial, 8/20/19, at 17-18, 21-22 (italics added).

“An appellate court’s standard of review of a trial court’s evidentiary

rulings[,] which include rulings on the admission of hearsay[,] is [for an] abuse

- 12 -

J-S05028-21

of discretion.”12 Commonwealth v. Rivera, 238 A.3d 482, 492 (Pa. Super.

2020) (citation omitted). “However, whether a defendant has been denied his

right to confront a witness under the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth

Amendment to the United States Constitution, made applicable to the States via

the Fourteenth Amendment, is a question of law, for which the [S]uperior

[C]ourt’s standard of review is de novo and its scope of review is plenary.” Id.

Hearsay is an out-of-court statement offered for the truth of the matter

asserted. See Pa.R.E. 802. Generally, hearsay is inadmissible unless it falls

within one of the exceptions to the hearsay rule. Commonwealth Sandusky,

203 A.3d 1033, 1054 (Pa. Super. 2019) (citations omitted). One such hearsay

exception is the present sense impression under Pa.R.E. 803(1). Pursuant to

Rule 803(1), “[a] statement describing or explaining an event or condition, made

while or immediately after the declarant perceived it[,]” is “not excluded by the

hearsay rule, regardless of whether the declarant is available as a witness.”

____________________________________________

12 Evidence is admissible if it is relevant—that is, if it tends to establish a material

fact, makes a fact at issue more or less probable, or supports a reasonable

inference supporting a material fact—and its probative value outweighs the

likelihood of unfair prejudice. Commonwealth v. Clemons, 200 A.3d 441, 474

(Pa. 2019) (citations omitted). Where the information that Patterson allegedly

pointed a gun at a security guard creates the reasonable suspicion needed to

conduct the instant investigatory detention, see Hicks, supra, such relevant

evidence was clearly more probative than prejudicial where it was directly

relevant to determining who in the area possessed a firearm. See Pa.R.E. 403

(court may exclude relevant evidence if probative value outweighed by danger

of prejudice); see also Commonwealth v. Hairston, 84 A.3d 657, 666 (Pa.

2014) (court not required to “sanitize the trial and eliminate all unpleasant facts

from the jury’s consideration” where facts are relevant to issues and form part

of history and development of events and offense for which defendant charged).

- 13 -

J-S05028-21

Pa.R.E. 803(1). “When the declarant is unidentified, the proponent shall show

by independent corroborating evidence that the declarant actually perceived the

event or condition.” Id.

Patterson claims that there was no corroborative evidence showing that

the witnesses “actually perceived the event,” and, thus, the statements were not

present sense impressions. We disagree. Here, Officer Hurley testified, and the

trial court found as a fact, that he arrived on the scene no more than two minutes

after receiving the CAD dispatch. N.T. Suppression Hearing, 5/31/19, at 21.

Immediately upon his arrival, Officer Hurley came upon three witnesses—two

women and a uniformed security guard—who pointed in Patterson’s direction

and told the officer that Patterson had just pointed a gun at the security guard.

Id. at 6, 10. Officer Hurley then saw Patterson just down the street and

proceeded to investigate.

Under such circumstances, especially where the trial court credited Officer

Hurley’s account upon arriving at the scene, we find that the prosecution

showed, by independent corroborating evidence, that the witnesses “actually

perceived the event.” Commonwealth v. Cunningham, 805 A.2d 566, 573

(Pa. Super. 2002) (for purposes of present sense impression, “[t]he observation

must be made at the time of the event or so shortly thereafter that it is unlikely

that the declarant had the opportunity to form the purpose of misstating his

observation”) (citations omitted). Moreover, as the Commonwealth points out

in its brief, Patterson, himself, also provided corroborating evidence when he

told Officer Hurley that he had been in an altercation with the security guard at

- 14 -

J-S05028-21

the treatment center. N.T. Suppression Hearing, 5/31/19, at 12. Despite the

fact that Patterson, for obvious reasons, did not tell Officer Hurley that he

threatened the guard with a gun, his information corroborates that witnesses

saw him in a dispute with the security guard at the relevant time period.

Accordingly, we conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in

permitting Officer Hurley to testify regarding the witnesses’ statements where

they qualify as present sense impressions.13 Rivera, supra.

Judgment of sentence affirmed.

Judge McLaughlin joins this Memorandum.

Judge Bowes concurs in the result.

be admitted as a way to explain the officer’s course of conduct in pursing

Patterson, frisking him and detaining him during the investigatory detention.
