STATE v. FREEMAN

No. 80-701.

64 Ohio St. 2d 291 (1980)

THE STATE OF OHIO, APPELLEE, v. FREEMAN, APPELLANT.

Supreme Court of Ohio.

Decided December 30, 1980.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. Anthony G. Pizza, prosecuting attorney, and Mr. David O. Bauer, for appellee.

Mr. John F. Potts, for appellant.


LOCHER, J.

Appellant, in his first proposition of law, asserts, in essence, that, in light of the facts of this cause, the officer did not have specific and articulable facts which would reasonably lead him to believe that appellant was involved in specific criminal activity. Stated otherwise, appellant claims that the seizure of the gun was unlawful, since it is the "fruit of the poisonous tree" of an illegal stop.

We find no merit in this contention.
