Blair Moody, Jr., J.
(to affirm). I agree with the result and concur in the analysis set forth in parts II and III of Justice Levin’s dissenting opinion^ Specifically, I agree that the defendant was not subject to a warrantless arrest for the specific misdemeanor and, therefore, the seizure of the *272Cadillac was not justified as incident to a valid misdemeanor arrest. Accordingly, I would affirm the reversal of defendant’s conviction and remand for a new trial.
It is not necessary to reach part IV and the question of whether the driver’s license discovered in the defendant’s sock was the product of an improper search or seizure. Since the incarceration of the defendant was not justified, the inventory search which produced the temporary driver’s license was invalid.
