Gooch v. State

OPINION

BAKER, Judge.

Appellant-defendant William Gooch brings this interlocutory appeal challenging the trial court's denial of his motion to suppress. Specifically, Gooch maintains that his motion should have been granted because the police officers failed to identify any particularized suspicion of criminal activity as a basis for stopping him. Thus, Gooch contends that the cocaine seized at the scene should be suppressed. Concluding that Gooch had abandoned the cocaine before the officers had seized him, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
