Opinion:
MEMORANDUM OPINION.
The opinion of the Court of Appeals, 33 Or App 271, 576 P2d 38 (1978), is reversed for failure to suppress evidence seized in violation of ORS 131.625. State v. Valdez, 277 Or 621, 629, 561 P2d 1006 (1977). There was insufficient evidence of danger to the police officer who made the seizure to justify failure to satisfy the statute.
The case is remanded with instructions to suppress the seized evidence.
