Syllabus

Motion to suppress fourth amendment citizen's consensual encounter investigative stop or Terry stop and anonymous tip. Judgment reversed and conviction vacated. The trial court erred when it denied defendant's motion to suppress when the facts demonstrate that the defendant felt he could not have declined to engage in the interaction with the police and proceed on his way to his intended destination and the officers did not possess a reasonable and articulable suspicion of criminal activity, before initiating a Terry stop.
