Perez v. State

4 Citing cases

  1. Boyd v. State

    685 S.E.2d 319 (Ga. Ct. App. 2009)   Cited 5 times
    Detaining defendant while waiting for a drug dog to perform a sniff test on his shoes supported by reasonable suspicion of further criminal activity where officers were aware defendant was on probation for drug offense; defendant resisted efforts to search below his knees or to look in his shoes; officer testified that he could not feel through the shoe material to determine if anything was inside; and earlier search located a weapon on defendant's person

    At that point, the officers had a basis independent of the traffic stop to briefly detain Boyd pursuant to Terry, supra, to investigate their reasonable suspicion of other criminal activity. Perez v. State, 280 Ga. App. 241, 242-243 ( 633 SE2d 572) (2006). To investigate this suspicion, the officers immediately summoned a trained drug-sniffing dog, and detained Boyd for about 15 minutes before the dog arrived, sniffed Boyd's shoes, and alerted to the presence of illegal drugs.
