• finding that the defendant’s “refusal to cooperate with the officer’s request to keep his hands in sight and to exit the truck intensified the officers’ reasonable concerns for their safety”
• defendant’s approaching a house being searched by police justified, in part, a protective search of defendant, even though his identity was unknown
• “The defendant’s furtive gestures in moving or leaning toward the right side of the truck —a motion which the officers reasonably interpreted was consistent with reaching for a weapon — compounded the officers’ belief that violence was imminent”.
