498 A.2d 591

State v. Holt

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

Decided October 3, 1985

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine · decided 1985-10-03

Relies on State v. Chapman

Decided 1985-10-03

¶1MEMORANDUM OF DECISION.

¶2On appeal from a judgment of the Superior Court, Hancock County, Kevin D. Holt claims error in the denial of his motion to suppress evidence of his habitual offender status obtained as a result of an investigatory stop of his vehicle. Because the motion justice was not clearly erroneous in finding that the police officer acted on the basis of specific and articulable facts which, taken together with rational inferences from those facts, reasonably warranted the intrusion, we deny the appeal. Cf. State v. Chapman, 495 A.2d 314 (Me.1985) (stop without articulable suspicion violates fourth amendment).

¶3The entry is:

¶4Judgment affirmed.

¶5All concurring.
