Search and Seizure — reasonable suspicion

The State charged James Abbott with possession of a firearm as a felon, as a repeater. The circuit court denied Abbott’s motion to suppress the firearm, and Abbott entered a guilty plea. Abbott appeals, arguing that the court erred in denying his suppression motion. We conclude that the stop that yielded the firearm was justified by reasonable suspicion, and we therefore affirm. This opinion will not be published.
