OH11: Def’s vehicle and occupants matching description of bank robbery getaway car and suspects was RS

Defendant’s vehicle matched the description of a bank robbery suspect’s truck in terms of the color, size, make, and model, and the defendant matched the suspect’s description in terms of his gender, race, and clothing. That was reasonable suspicion. State v. Wilson, 2018-Ohio-902, 2018 Ohio App. LEXIS 964 (11th Dist. Mar. 12, 2018).

The CI here was identified and had a record. That information corroborated information already collected by the police. “Moreover, Gamble’s conduct upon officers’ arrival at his residence prior to his detention (lying to law enforcement about not being home, and then exiting the residence approximately 45 minutes after officer’s initial arrival) represents a reasonable and articulable suspicion for law enforcement to detain Gamble.” State v. Gamble, 2018-Ohio-895, 2018 Ohio App. LEXIS 945 (3d Dist. Mar. 12, 2018).*
