Syllabus

A district court's decision on a motion to suppress will be affirmed if there is sufficient competent evidence fairly capable of supporting the trial court's findings and the decision is not contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence. An investigative detention must be reasonably related in scope to the circumstances which justified the interference in the first place. The State must establish that the seizure it seeks to justify on the basis of a reasonable suspicion was sufficiently limited in scope and duration to satisfy the conditions of an investigative seizure.
