D.W. v. United States (en banc)

Summary

The en banc court held that officers had reasonable articulable suspicion to seize D.W. when they grabbed his leg after he immediately fled upon seeing officers approaching from a substantial distance. Considering the totality of the circumstances, the court gave primary weight to the timing and context of the flight and additional, lesser weight to the crime evidence associated with the apartment complex and the desperate nature of D.W.'s escape. The court affirmed D.W.'s convictions.
