When can the police stop someone? Is flight enough? Not according to State v Tucker (136 NJ 158, 1994). But what about when we have flight coupled with other factors? That is exactly what we have here, in the State of New Jersey v KHALIEL ARRINGTON (Appellate Unpublished Opinion, Decided December 29, 2025). Instructor Lt. Joey Sperlazza breaks down the concept of "reasonable suspicion" and how flight, when combined with other factors like nervous behavior and evasiveness, can justify a "terry stop". This analysis provides critical insight for law enforcement on police procedure and proper search and seizure techniques, reinforcing the importance of sound police training based on case law examples. The requirements for a lawful police seizure were met here, and the articulable facts led to the justified detention of Arrington and his ultimate conviction of possessing an illegal handgun.
