The People of the State of Colorado, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Amber Anne Threlkel, Defendant-Appellee.

Summary

The court reversed the order suppressing evidence, holding that deputies had reasonable, articulable suspicion to detain Threlkel based on the totality of the circumstances and the collective knowledge of the investigative team. The court also held that the exclusionary rule could not suppress observations and investigation occurring before any alleged unlawful stop. The case was remanded for further proceedings consistent with the opinion.
