Supreme Court of Rhode Island.

April 3, 2009.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Virginia M. McGinn, Providence, for Plaintiff.

Janice M. Weisfeld, Providence, for Defendant.

Present: GOLDBERG, Acting C.J., FLAHERTY, SUTTELL, ROBINSON, JJ., and WILLIAMS, C.J. (ret.).

OPINION

Chief Justice WILLIAMS (ret.), for the Court.

The defendant, Dora M. Paiva (defendant), was convicted of one count of possession of cocaine after she stipulated to the evidence on record and waived her right to a jury trial. She appeals the hearing justice's decision to deny her suppression motion, arguing that the arresting officer's initial investigatory stop was devoid of reasonable suspicion.
