City of Highland Park v. James Lee

Alan Tom Davis

Case Conclusion Date: August 6, 1997

Practice Area: DUI / DWI

Outcome: Defendant's motion to suppress win affirmed

Description: The Court affirmed Lee's motion to suppress evidence because the officer had no probable cause to stop and arrest Lee. The officer's detention of Lee could not be called a "community caretaking" stop, and thus probable cause was necessary. This ruling resulted in the dismissal of the charges in Lee's case.
