Supreme Court of New Jersey

State v. Lurdes Rosario (077420) (Monmouth and Statewide)

June 6, 2017

Summary

The appellate division affirmed the trial court's denial of Rosario's motion to suppress, holding that the officer's encounter was a field inquiry that became a valid investigatory stop supported by reasonable suspicion, and that Rosario was not in custody for Miranda purposes, so her statements were admissible.
