Arkansas v. Fowler

Certiorari Denied

Petition for certiorari denied on October 3, 2011.

Docket No.10-1273
Op. BelowArk. S. Ct.

Issue

Does the decision in Illinois v. Wardlow (2000), holding that unprovoked flight from the police may constitute reasonable suspicion justifying a brief investigative detention under Terry v. Ohio (1968), limit the power of police to arrest a suspect whose flight constitutes a criminal offense under State law?
