Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Charles William Johnson, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

October 26, 19831983 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1212

Summary

The Court reversed the conviction because the investigatory detention of Johnson lacked reasonable suspicion, rendering the subsequent search of his truck unlawful and the methamphetamine and syringes inadmissible; a concurrence noted that the majority relied on outdated stop‑and‑frisk authority.
