P. v. Thompson
Defendant Edward Larry Thompson, II, challenges the denial of his motion to suppress evidence. Thompson argues that his detention in a high-crime area, while he was wearing gang-related clothing, after attempting to evade officers, was unreasonable and the evidence seized should be suppressed. We find Thompsons detention did not run afoul of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The detaining officers had reasonable suspicion that criminal activity was afoot and that Thompson was engaged in that activity. Finding the detention reasonable, Court affirm the judgment.
