U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-1428
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Murphy and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Officers had reasonable suspicion that
criminal activity was afoot, and they had grounds to support a Terry stop;
defendant's actions in reaching for his waistband, combined with other
circumstances, gave the officers a reasonable suspicion that defendant was
armed and dangerous and gave them grounds to detain him and conduct a
Terry frisk.
