Menne v. State (Majority)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant Lesa Menne was found guilty of possession of drug paraphernalia with the intent to use, and possession of marijuana. On appeal, Menne challenged the circuit court's denial of her motion to suppress evidence recovered in a search of her vehicle after she was stopped by a law enforcement officer for a traffic violation. The Supreme Court affirmed the circuit court's ruling, holding that the circuit court correctly found that a number of factors gave the officer a reasonable suspicion during the course of the traffic stop that Menne was committing, had committed, or was about it commit a crime involving danger to persons or property, and that reasonable suspicion was a sufficient basis to detain Menne further.
