A police officer pulls over a car with three men in it. The men all exit the vehicle and run in opposite directions. The officer engages in a foot pursuit and just prior being tackled, one of the suspects throws a bag away with a substance which is later found to contain heroin.

D) The officer may not arrest the suspect because the suspect did have the heroin on his/her person at the time of the tackle.
