In re Jose G.
The juvenile court denied appellant Jose G.s motion to suppress evidence and found him to be a ward of the court, for possession of a firearm near a school and possession of live ammunition by a minor. He was committed to a short-term camp program. He contends that the suppression motion should have been granted, as the officers had no objectively reasonable suspicion that he had committed a crime, before they detained him and frisked him. The contention lacks merit, because the police were acting on information from a school bus driver, whose observations of appellant justified a reasonable suspicion that appellant had a gun hidden under his shirt.
The motion to suppress was heard concurrently with the adjudication hearing. Court therefore find that the motion to suppress was correctly denied.
