March 2, 20112011 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 283

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the Court of Appeals and held that Officer Barrett's initial approach to Castleberry was a consensual encounter, that Castleberry's reaching for his waistband gave reasonable suspicion to detain and frisk him, and that the seized cocaine was admissible. The case was remanded for the trial court to proceed with the evidence.
