Before us is a pretrial government appeal from a juvenile proceeding in which the trial court suppressed evidence of drugs found on A.S. when he was stopped and searched by a police officer. The trial court held that the stop and frisk of A.S. was unlawful under Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1, 88 S.Ct. 1868, 20 L.Ed.2d 889 (1968) and the Fourth Amendment. We affirm.
