STATE v. TAYLOR

No. 4687.

388 S.C. 101 (2010)

694 S.E.2d 60

The STATE, Respondent, v. Syllester D. TAYLOR, Appellant.

Court of Appeals of South Carolina.

Decided May 13, 2010.

Rehearing Denied June 24, 2010.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Appellate Defender Elizabeth A. Franklin-Best, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Christina J. Catoe, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Edgar Lewis Clements, III, of Florence, for Respondent.

SHORT, J.

Syllester D. Taylor appeals his conviction and thirty-year sentence for possession with intent to distribute (PWID) cocaine base, arguing the trial court erred in admitting the drug evidence because the officers lacked reasonable suspicion to stop him or probable cause to search his tennis ball. We agree. Therefore, we reverse Taylor's conviction and vacate his sentence.1
