Syllabus

State's appeal. The trial court erred in granting appellee's motion to suppress. A police officer responded to a dispatch of a disorderly individual who refused to leave a fitness center when asked by staff members. The officer had reasonable and articulable suspicion of criminal activity to warrant an investigatory detention of appellee, who was leaving the fitness center and matched the provided description. Officers lawfully asked appellee for his identifying information during the Terry stop. Upon running his information, officers lawfully arrested appellee on an outstanding warrant, permitting a search incident to the arrest. The loaded weapon and magazines were lawfully found during that search. Judgment reversed and remanded. (Donovan, J., concurring.)
