State v. Maddox11/13/2001
that Phillips was mentally unstable and may have been carrying a knife.
Police officers are authorized to use information received by radio dispatch as part of their basis for articulable suspicion to conduct a stop. To allow Phillips to simply drive away from the scene without further investigation of the 911 call would have been irresponsible, even if such investigation included the officers' stated desire to give Phillips criminal trespass warnings. "In Burgeson v. State, information provided by other officers as communicated in a dispatch provided the basis for reasonable and articulable suspicion to justify a stop. The same concept applies in the present case."
Based on the record, we find as clearly erroneous the conclusion that the stop of Maddox's car was without reasonable articulable suspicion. The motion to suppress on such grounds should not have been granted.
Judgment reversed.
Smith, P. J., and Ellington, J., concur.
