Colton Cockrell v. State of Arkansas — Hannah, J., Dissenting

Summary

Hannah, C.J., dissenting, would hold that Officer Baker unlawfully seized Cockrell and his truck by blocking the truck without specific, particularized, and articulable reasons suggesting criminal activity. The dissent reasons that facts observed after the seizure could not retroactively justify it and that the consensual-investigation rule was inapplicable because Baker blocked the truck rather than merely requesting cooperation. Hannah would reverse and remand, and Sheffield, J., joined the dissent.
