How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding officers had reasonable suspicion when told a man had “broken out a window to a vehicle and that he had gotten into a gray vehicle and that he had a gun”
- affirming denial of suppression motion where arresting officer stopped defendant within five minutes of receiving dispatch and within two blocks of the crime scene
- applying reasonable suspicion standard for traffic stop where officers received two dispatch messages within forty-five minutes informing them that a vehicle had been involved in criminal activity in the area
- affirming validity of a Terry stop of a gray vehicle found 2 blocks from the reported theft of a grey vehicle, relying in significant part on the “temporal and geographical proximity of the car to the scene of the crime.”
- affirming reasonable suspicion determina- tion when police spotted defendant’s car, which matched police dispatch description, no more than two blocks away from the scene of the robbery and within five min- utes of a second police dispatch concerning the robbery
- relying on the temporal and physical proximity of a description-matching car to a crime to reject an argument that “the vague description of the vehicle and perpetrator ... coupled with the absence of any observation of illegal activity” meant that a stop lacked reasonable suspicion
