VI: Man matching description of shooter in a 911 call could be stopped with reasonable suspicion

Police responding to a shooting call found a man matching the description of the shooter. That was reasonable suspicion for his stop and frisk. Blyden v. People, 2010 V.I. Supreme LEXIS 41 (July 7, 2010).*

The CI in this case admitted to smoking marijuana with the defendant shortly before talking with the officer about what led to the search warrant. The CI’s statement was sufficiently reliable to base a search warrant. Moss v. State, 2010 Ark. App. 613, 2010 Ark. App. LEXIS 654 (September 22, 2010).*

In a case GVR’d by SCOTUS in light of Gant, on remand, the search was invalid as a search incident but valid under the automobile exception because there was probable cause. Meister v. State, 933
N.E.2d 875 (Ind. 2010), affg Meister v. State, 912 N.E.2d 412 (Ind. Ct. App. 2009).*
