Description
On April 22, 2007, an officer working for the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority ("CMHA") noticed defendant-appellant Karl See and two companions sitting in a parked car outside a CMHA property. The officer parked his vehicle in front of Sees car so that See could not depart and approached See. As a result of the ensuing encounter, the officer searched Sees car and found a firearm with no serial number under the drivers seat of Sees car. The officer arrested See, and See was charged with possession of a firearm from which the serial number had been removed. See filed a motion to suppress. After the district court denied this motion, See entered a conditional guilty plea and was sentenced to two years of probation, with six months of home confinement. On appeal, See argues that the district court erred when it denied his motion to suppress. We conclude that the initial Terry stop was not supported by reasonable suspicion, REVERSE the district courts denial of Sees motion to suppress, and REMAND for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
