355 Md. 356

Peter Michael FERRIS v. STATE of Maryland.

Court of Appeals of Maryland.

August 18, 1999.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Patrick E. Maher, Towson (Jay C. Beasley, Michael J. Nehring, Hagerstown, all on brief), for Petitioner.

Kathryn Grill Graeff, Asst. Atty. Gen. (J. Joseph Curran, Jr., Atty. Gen., on brief), Baltimore, for Respondent.

Argued before BELL, C.J., and ELDRIDGE, RODOWSKY, CHASANOW, RAKER, WILNER and CATHELL, JJ.


RAKER, Judge.

Petitioner Peter Michael Ferris appeals the denial of his motion to suppress evidence seized by the police. Because the police officer in this case effected a seizure not premised upon the reasonable, articulable suspicion required under the Fourth Amendment, we shall hold that the Circuit Court for Washington County erred in denying Ferris's motion to suppress.
