State v. Rowdy

Summary

The court held that the totality of the circumstances supported reasonable suspicion for the Terry search of Rowdy and probable cause for the warrantless search of his automobile. The relevant circumstances included the odor of marijuana, Rowdy's delayed response to the traffic stop, the location, his prior narcotics and weapons convictions, evasive behavior, and the discovery of an object believed to be a marijuana blunt. The court modified and affirmed the Court of Appeals' judgment.
