The officer had territorial jurisdiction to stop and arrest defendant after he fled across jurisdictional lines. The officer was in hot pursuit. Also, a motion to dismiss isn’t the remedy. State v. Letts<\/a>, 2025-Ohio-1085, 2025 Ohio App. LEXIS 1033 (2d Dist. Mar. 28, 2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn this case, officers certainly had reasonable suspicion to conduct an investigatory stop of Chase’s person. Chase was in the 2000 block of Maryland Avenue, an area known to law enforcement for frequent drug transactions. \u2026 Additionally, officers observed Chase sit for an extended period in close proximity to Jane Doe, who\u2014as Chase acknowledges \u2026\u2014engaged in activity suggestive of drug transactions. \u2026 Moreover, Chase’s own actions were consistent with hand-to-hand drug transactions: officers observed him handling a pill bottle; holding cash; receiving cash from one individual; and conversing with multiple different people who approached. The officers’ observation that Chase’s manner of walking and adjusting his pants was consistent with a \u2018security check\u2019 further supported reasonable suspicion. \u2026 These observations justified a Terry stop and a Terry frisk of Chase’s person.\u201d United States v. Chase, 2025 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 56831 (D. Md. Mar. 27, 2025).*<\/p>\n\n\n\n
