Officer Smith is walking a beat when a store owner comes running out of his store. He tells the officer that a man running from the scene just held him up (robbed him). Officer Smith gives chase and is able to catch the man. He immediately places the man under arrest. The man later claims the arrest was illegal. Was it?

A. No, because the police had reasonable suspicion to make the arrest in a public place.
B. Yes, because the police had probable cause, but needed to go get an arrest warrant.
C. Yes, because the police didn't witness the man robbing the store.
D. No, because the police can arrest for a felony without a warrant if they have probable cause and the victim's statement gave the police probable cause.
