Court of Appeals of Washington May 6, 2008, No. 25366-0-III (State v. Rowell)

lead-opinion

Brown, J.

¶1 Benjamin Howard Rowell appeals his stipulated-facts bench trial conviction for possessing a controlled substance. He contends the trial court erred in denying his evidence suppression motion and that the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction. We hold the trial court correctly determined Mr. Rowell’s initial police encounter was a lawful investigative stop.
