Commonwealth v. Perry
Superior Court of Pennsylvania
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION BY
FITZGERALD, J.:
¶ 1 Appellant, Thomas A. Perry, Jr., appeals from the judgment of sentence entered in the Lebanon County Court of Common Pleas, following his convictions for driving under the influence 1 and driving vehicle at safe speed. 2 We hold that this Court’s decision in Commonwealth v. Minnich, 874 A.2d 1234 (Pa.Super.2005), finding that potential danger of causing an accident is sufficient to establish probable cause to initiate a traffic stop, applies in full to the current reasonable-suspicion standard. Accordingly, we affirm.
¶ 2 The trial court adequately stated the facts:
