Search and Seizure
Reasonable suspicion
We reject Michael S. Miske's claim that law enforcement officers lacked reasonable suspicion to stop and detain him on an unlit back country road while they were investigating a report of a battery by a member of a motorcycle gang known to be prone to violence. The officer's questioning of Miske, after he voluntarily stopped at the scene of an investigation, was reasonable because it promoted the general public interests of ensuring officer safety and obtaining identifying information. Therefore, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
