Idaho v. Pachosa
Annotate this CaseAppellant-State charged respondent Jamie Lynn Pachosa with felony possession of a controlled substance, possession of paraphernalia, and providing false information to a law enforcement officer. Before the trial, Pachosa moved to suppress all evidence against her, arguing that the officers in the case violated her Fourth Amendment rights by seizing her for an investigatory detention without the required reasonable suspicion. The district court granted Pachosa’s motion to suppress all evidence gathered against her. The State appealed that decision. After review, the Supreme Court concluded the district court erred in interpreting the controlling case law of this matter, and as such, erred in finding there was no reasonable suspicion to detain Pachosa. Therefore, the district court’s order granting Pachosa’s motion to suppress all evidence gathered against her was vacated and the case was remanded for further proceedings.
