Syllabus

The trial court did not err in denying appellant's motion to suppress as the totality of the circumstances demonstrated that law enforcement had reasonable and articulable suspicion to effectuate a Terry stop on appellant in order to investigate the possibility of criminal activity and the officers acted lawfully in conducting protective pat downs of appellant for weapons. Contraband found in appellant's pants pocket was lawfully seized pursuant to the plain-feel doctrine.
