• 2020 Ohio 1515

Syllabus

An identified 911 caller may provide police with reasonable suspicion that a suspect is armed and dangerous, entitling police to stop the suspect and to frisk him or her for weapons. Where the suspect is slow to comply with orders to stop and raise his or her hands, the officer effecting the stop does not violate the Constitution when he or she draws and points a weapon at the suspect to attain compliance with an investigatory order to stop for detention based on that reasonable suspicion.
