Supreme Court of Arkansas

Antwan Lavan Fowler v. State of Arkansas — Brown, J., Dissenting

November 11, 20102010 Ark. LEXIS 543

Summary

The dissent argues that the officers had lawful grounds to arrest Fowler for fleeing from a lawful stop or for obstructing governmental operations by fleeing and falsely identifying himself. It therefore would have upheld the arrest and declined to suppress the evidence discovered after officers learned that Fowler was a parole violator. The dissent contends that the majority failed to address these misdemeanor-based grounds for the arrest.
