Supreme Court of Delaware

Convictions on various drug charges are reversed and remanded where: 1) there was no reasonable articulable suspicion of criminal activity to justify a Terry stop of defendant; 2) defendant's subsequent consent to a search was thereby tainted; and 3) the evidence obtained from that search must therefore be suppressed.
