| | No. 2-03-0800, People v. Holland |
 | | Defendant, Derek Holland, was indicted for unlawful possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver (720 ILCS 570/401(c)(2) (West 2002)) and unlawful possession of a controlled substance (720 ILCS 570/402(c) (West 2002)). |
 | | Defendant moved to quash his arrest and suppress the evidence seized (725 ILCS 5/114--12 (West 2002)), and the trial court granted the motion, finding that the officer lacked reasonable and articulable suspicion that defendant was involved in a crime. |
 | | On cross-examination, Officer Brian testified that he "immediately recognized [defendant] to be Derek Holland," he knew that defendant had "somewhat of a background," and, based on these past experiences, he thought defendant might be armed. |
