State v. Montano, 169 Wn.2d 872
Dec 23, 2014OUTCOME: The supreme court reversed the decision of the court of appeals.
Before his arrest, defendant struggled violently with the police officers who were attempting to subdue him. From his initial refusal to provide identification to his final thrashings that resulted in ... two tasings, defendant grew increasingly enraged and violent. After being subdued physically, he resorted to lashing out verbally, hurling threats and insults at the officers. Defendant's behavior amply demonstrated his anger at the situation and at the police officers. However, there was no evidence to suggest that defendant engaged in that behavior, or made his threats, for the purpose of influencing the police officers' actions. Defendant's threats and taunts provided no evidence of any attempt to influence the police officers. In the absence of some evidence suggesting an attempt to influence, the State failed to make a prima facie showing that defendant attempted to influence either officer's official action. Thus, the trial court properly dismissed the charge against defendant for intimidating a public servant under Wash. Rev. Code § 9A.76.180. Accordingly, the court of appeals erred in reversing the trial court's dismissal of the charge.
State v. Chacon Arreola, 176 Wn.2d 284
Dec 23, 2014OUTCOME: The supreme court reversed the court of appeals and upheld the trial court's conclusion that the traffic stop was constitutional. Defendant's conviction was reinstated.
An officer admitted that he was motivated to conduct the traffic stop primarily to detect further signs of driving under the influence (DUI). The trial court found that defendant's exhaust infraction w ... as an actual reason for the stop and also that the officer would have stopped defendant for the exhaust infraction even without the previous DUI report. Thus, defendant's stop was a mixed-motive stop. Because the officer had a reasonable articulable suspicion that defendant was violating Wash. Rev. Code § 46.37.390 based on an altered exhaust and decided that a traffic stop was reasonably necessary to address that suspected traffic infraction and to promote traffic safety and the general welfare, the fact that the officer was also interested in and motivated by a related DUI investigation was irrelevant, even if that investigation could not provide a legal basis for the traffic stop. Because the suspected traffic infraction was an actual, conscious, and independent cause of the traffic stop, the trial court was correct in concluding that the stop was not pretextual. Thus, the officer's traffic stop did not violate Wash. Const. art. I, § 7.--Angus Lee serves as supervising attorney on this case.
