    The arresting officer may rely on all available information, including observations and inferences, to determine probable cause for an arrest without a warrant. However, mere general suspicion is not sufficient to establish probable cause. Probable cause can be based on an officer's personal knowledge or reasonably trustworthy information supplied by witnesses or victims. The officer need not verify such third-party information when determining probable cause under the circumstances.

    In determining probable cause, the arresting officer may rely on all the information in his possession, his

    fair inferences therefrom, including his observations. Mere suspicion does not meet the requirements of
    showing probable cause to arrest without warrant especially if it is a mere general suspicion. Probable
    cause may rest on reasonably trustworthy information as well as personal knowledge. Thus, the
    arresting officer may rely on information supplied by a witness or a victim of a crime; and under the
    circumstances, the arresting officer need not verify such information.1
