Supreme Court of Delaware

Johnson v. State

February 3, 2015

Summary

The Court affirmed Johnson’s convictions after independently reviewing the record under Rule 26(c). It held that the officers had reasonable and articulable suspicion to make the initial stop based on the circumstances surrounding Johnson and two apparent juveniles, and that seeing Johnson draw a gun while fleeing supplied probable cause to arrest him. The Court concluded that the suppression ruling contained no legal error or abuse of discretion.
