Supreme Court of Arkansas
Colton Cockrell v. State of Arkansas
May 27, 20102010 Ark. LEXIS 306
Summary
The court affirmed the convictions, holding that the challenge to the carrying-a-weapon conviction was not preserved because the specific club-definition argument was not made in a timely motion to dismiss. It also affirmed the denial of suppression, concluding that the officer’s initial approach was permissible under Rule 2.2 and that the surrounding circumstances supplied reasonable suspicion for detention under Rule 3.1. Hannah, C.J., dissenting, would have reversed and remanded because the truck was seized before any facts supported reasonable suspicion.
