Syllabus

Trial court did not err in denying defendant's motion to suppress evidence. Defendant's encounter with police was consensual. Encounter occurred in public place police merely asked questions about the baggie clenched in defendant's hand, but did not block his path, command him to stop walking, order him to open his hand, display a weapon, or otherwise indicate a display of force or authority that would make a reasonable person believe he or she was free to terminate the encounter.
