| Issues: |
Appellant's Statement of the Issues: I. Whether the district court erred in concluding the "only" reasonable inference to be drawn from what the police officers heard and observed was that one or both of the individuals in the vehicle leaving the parking lot were involved in an argument where officers responded to a report of a "fight about to happen," were notified the occupants in Lawrence's vehicle were involved in the incident, and Lawrence's vehicle was observed leaving the scene after the arrival of one of the two police officers. II. Whether the district court erred in settling on one possible definition of "fight," to the exclusion of all others, and by reaching a broadly-termed legal conclusion that "arguing is not a crime" where fighting or violent, tumultuous or threatening behavior is expressly proscribed by criminal statute. III. Whether the district court erred in applying a reasonable and articulable suspicion standard requiring actual criminal activity where there was evidence of potential criminal activity. IV. Whether the district court erred in concluding the underlying facts did not meet the reasonable and articulable suspicion standard where officers responded to a report of a "fight about to happen," were notified the occupants in Lawrence's vehicle were involved in the incident, and Lawrence's vehicle was observed leaving the scene after the arrival of one of the two police officers. | ||||||
