Defendant was hanging around a convenience store at closing time, and it had been robbed multiple times before at closing. A patdown was performed by one officer producing nothing, but the second officer noticed that defendant turned slightly like he was adjusting something. A second patdown was done that produced a weapon, and it was valid under the Fourth Amendment. Lewis v. State<\/a>, 307 Ga. App. 593, 705 S.E.2d 693 (2011).*<\/p>\n

An identified citizen who called police to say a woman was acting bizarrely in his driveway talking about tar heroin was justification for a stop. When she was stopped, she was glassy eyed and under the influence of something. The stop was reasonable. Leatherman v. Commonwealth<\/a>, 357 S.W.3d 518 (Ky. App. 2011).*<\/p>\n

This case had three different CIs and two were long time CIs with a good history. On the totality of circumstances there was probable cause. State v. Williams<\/a>, 209 N.C. App. 255, 703 S.E.2d 905 (2011).*<\/p>\n
