Derek Scisney v. State of Indiana

MATHIAS, Judge.

[1] Derek Scisney (“Scisney”) was convicted in Marion Superior Court of unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon (“SVF”) and resisting law enforcement. Scisney appeals his conviction for unlawful possession of a firearm by an SVF and argues that the trial court abused its discretion when it admitted the firearm into evidence. Specifically, he argues that his encounter with the law enforcement officer was not consensual and the officer lacked reasonable suspicion to conduct a Terry stop and the accompanying pat down search.

[2] We affirm.
