Supreme Court of Arkansas

State of Arkansas, Appellant v. Stoney Lee McWilliams, Appellee

November 2, 20172017 Ark. LEXIS 269

Summary

The Supreme Court of Arkansas dismissed the State's interlocutory appeal from an order suppressing evidence because the appeal did not present an issue requiring review for the correct and uniform administration of the criminal law. The circuit court's ruling depended on the particular facts concerning whether the officer had reasonable suspicion to make an investigatory stop, rather than on a broad interpretation of a criminal procedure rule. The court therefore did not reach the merits of whether the encounter constituted a seizure.
