Michael David Hoag, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

April 15, 19871987 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 575

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the appellant's conviction, holding that the police stop was an unlawful warrant‑less arrest and that the subsequent search of the appellant's car was not justified as a search incident to that arrest or an investigative detention. The case was remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
