State of Connecticut v. Michael K. Clark

Summary

The court held that the police had reasonable and articulable suspicion to conduct an investigative stop of the defendant, even assuming that their actions constituted a seizure. The suspicion was based on a reliable confidential informant's tip, the informant's detailed vehicle and location information, and the officers' corroboration of those details. The court therefore reversed the Appellate Court and directed further proceedings denying suppression.
